Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Appointment of Judy Lin to the Board of Directors
On April 1, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of 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, Ms. Judy Lin was appointed as a Class II 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 her term expiring at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders following fiscal year 2023.
She was also appointed to serve as a member of the Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Ms. Lin is a retired executive who has 30 years of experience in the disk drive industry.
She currently serves as an Independent Board Director of MORESCO Corporation, a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals based in Japan, since June 2014.
Ms. Lin served as Vice President of Western Digital Media Operations, a leader in data infrastructure, from September 2007 until her retirement in September 2012.
Prior to Western Digital, Ms. Lin served as Vice President at Komag Inc., a leading supplier of thin-film disks to the hard disk drive industry, and held various management positions from April 1994 until Western Digital acquired Komag in September 2007.
Before joining Komag, Ms. Lin was with IBM Almaden Research Center Storage Systems Division for 11 years as a Senior Scientist from January 1983 to April 1994.
Ms. Lin holds a MSc degree in Materials Science and Mineral Engineering from University of California, Berkeley where she was also a PhD candidate, and a BS in Chemical Engineering from National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.
Our Governance Committee concluded that Ms. Lin should serve on the Board based on her substantial leadership and management experience and, considering she is well versed in technology innovation, product development, engineering and global operations, she will add valuable perspective to the Board.
Ms. Lin 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.
