Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 18, 2019, the Board of Directors ("Board") of Kansas City Southern (the "Company") elected Janet H. Kennedy as a director, effective December 1, 2019 and, in connection with the election, increased the size of the Board from 9 to 10 members.
Ms. Kennedy served on the Board from May, 2017 until she resigned on October 19, 2018 in connection with joining Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"), which has a policy that prohibits executives at EY from serving as a member of the board of directors of a public company. Ms. Kennedy's resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's strategy, operations, policies, or practices. In July, 2019, Ms. Kennedy joined Alphabet, Inc., where she is Vice President, America Regions, at Google Cloud.
Ms. Kennedy's compensation for her services as a director will be consistent with that of the Company's other non-employee directors.  Accordingly, she will receive a pro rata portion of (a) the annual cash retainer for service on the Board of $75,000, and (b) the Company's annual Board member stock award, under the Company's equity incentive plan in effect on the grant date, with a value of $125,000. Ms. Kennedy will enter into the Company's standard indemnification agreement for officers and directors as described on the Company's definitive proxy statement filed on April 4, 2017, which description is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01    Regulation FD.
On November 21, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing Ms. Kennedy's election to the Board. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), nor shall it be deemed "incorporated by reference" into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 1934 Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
