Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 30, 2016, the Board of Directors (the "
Board
") of Washington Prime Group Inc. (the "
Registrant
" or "
Company
") unanimously appointed Ms. Sheryl G. von Blucher as an independent director of the Board. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. von Blucher and any other person(s) pursuant to which Ms. von Blucher was elected as a director. Furthermore, Ms. von Blucher is not a party to any transaction with respect to the Registrant that is reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Ms. von Blucher replaced Mr. Marvin L. White who retired from the Board at the conclusion of the Company's 2016 annual meeting of shareholders (the "
Annual Meeting
") held on August 30, 2016. In addition, the Board appointed Ms. von Blucher as a member of the Board's Audit Committee. As a member of the Board, Ms. von Blucher is entitled to receive annual compensation totaling $230,000 that consists of $120,000 of equity evidenced by a grant of Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty-Seven (8,727) restricted stock units based on the closing share price of the Company's common stock on August 30, 2016 (each an "
RSU

The RSUs shall vest on May 17, 2017 subject to Ms. von Blucher's continued membership on the Board through that date. A copy of the press release announcing Ms. von Blucher's appointment to the Board is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As described under Item 5.07 below, at the Annual Meeting, the Company's common shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name from "WP Glimcher Inc." to "Washington Prime Group Inc." The name change became effective upon the filing on August 30, 2016 of Articles of Amendment (the "
Articles
") to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company with the Indiana Secretary of State.  See Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K.
Also in connection with the aforementioned name change, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "

Additionally, on August 30, 2016, the Board approved amendments to the Bylaws to revise Section 9.10(c) to remove the requirement that the sections of the Bylaws addressing amendments to the Bylaws (Section 9.10) and the calling of special shareholder meetings (Section 1.02) may only be amended by both the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors and the affirmative vote of a majority of directors. Following this amendment, Article VIII (Indemnification) is the only section of the Bylaws that requires: (1) the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors and (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of directors
