Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 27, 2012, Mr. Scott B. Ungerer, a Class I director, tendered to the Board of Directors (the "
Board
) his resignation from the Board of Comverge, Inc. (the "
Company
"), and Mr. Joseph O'Donnell, a Class II director, informed the Board that he does not intend to stand for reelection to the Board at the Company's next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board accepted Mr. Ungerer's resignation, effective February 27, 2012. Mr. Ungerer's
resignation and Mr. O'Donnell's decision not to stand for reelection are not due to any disagreement with the Company.
Also on February 27, 2012, the Board increased the number of authorized directors on the Board from eight to ten directors, and the Board voted to elect Messrs. David R. Kuzma, James J. Moore, Jr. and Rudolf J. Hoefling (collectively, the "
New Directors
") as independent directors to fill vacant positions on the Board effective upon the Board's acceptance of Mr. Ungerer's resignation on February 27, 2012.  Messrs. Kuzma and Moore were appointed to fill the two Class I director vacancies, and Mr. Hoefling was appointed to fill the Class II director vacancy, and as such, each shall serve until the next election of their
respective classes, subject to the election and qualification of a successor or successors, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
The New Directors were elected to the Board in connection with a Settlement and Standstill Agreement among the Company and certain stockholders of the Company party thereto (collectively, the "
Ardsley Group
"), dated February 27, 2012 (the "
Agreement
"). Pursuant to the Agreement and in certain cases subject to limitations or exceptions specified in the Agreement, the Ardsley Group agreed not to, among other things, own more than 14.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock, submit a stockholder proposal or nominate any candidate for election to the Board or oppose
candidates nominated by the Board, form a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the Common Stock, solicit proxies or written consents of the stockholders or engage in or conduct any binding or nonbinding referendum with respect to the Common Stock, engage in short sales of the Company's securities or acquire material assets or businesses of the Company or engage in any other extraordinary transaction with the Company.
In accordance with the Agreement, the New Directors were named to certain committees of the Board as follows: Mr. Hoefling was named to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Audit Committee; Mr. Moore was named to the Strategy Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and Mr. Kuzma was named as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.
Each of the New Directors, as non-employee independent directors, will be compensated in accordance with the Company's compensation policies for non-employee directors as such policies are adjusted pursuant to the Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except for the Agreement, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of the New Directors and any other person pursuant to which any of the New Directors was elected to the Board. Except for compensation as directors as described above, the New Directors have not engaged in, and are not otherwise connected to, any transaction that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
