Appointment of Robert L. Blair to the Board of Directors
On December 19, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (the "Company") fixed the number of directors at eight (8) pursuant to provisions in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company.
On the same date, Mr. Robert L. Blair was appointed as a Class III director by the Board to fill the vacancy on the Board resulting from the increase in the authorized number of directors to eight (8), with his term expiring at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders following fiscal year 2024.
Mr. Blair was President and Chief Executive Officer of ESS Technology, Inc. ("ESS"), a fabless semiconductor company, for 19 years from September 1999 through July 2018 where he also served as a director from September 1999 through August 2019.
During this time, ESS was a publicly listed company on NASDAQ for 9 years.
Mr. Blair has been a director of Pictos, Inc., a technology licensing company that owns a portfolio of fundamental CMOS imaging patents, since July 2008 where he also previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer between 2008 and 2013.
His professional background also includes more than 35 years of experience in marketing, sales, engineering, operations, and general management, principally in the computer hardware, software, and semiconductor industries.
His experience includes roles at Global Semiconductor Alliance, Logistix Corporation, and XEMAG (a division of Xidex Corporation). Mr. Blair holds twelve issued U.S. patents plus additional patents worldwide, and studied electrical engineering at Arizona State University and applied economics at the University of San Francisco.
Mr. Blair is entitled to receive the Company's standard indemnity agreement and non-employee director compensation. The Company reimburses non-employee directors for reasonable expenses in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings. The Company's non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $60,000, payable quarterly in cash. In addition, each director serving in a non-chairperson capacity on the Company's Audit, Compensation or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees receives an additional annual retainer of $15,000, $10,000 and $7,500 per committee, respectively, payable quarterly in cash. Non-employee directors are entitled to $2,000 per meeting for each meeting attended in excess of (1) the regular meetings of the Board and (2) up to 10 additional meetings beyond such regular meetings, provided that notice of the meeting was properly given, a quorum was present and minutes of the meeting were prepared. Each non-employee director is entitled to receive an annual grant of RSUs equal in value to $220,000. Initial RSU grants upon election as a director are prorated.
