Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain
Officers
; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
.
On November 2, 2015, the Board of Directors of Cambrex Corporation appointed Louis J. Grabowsky, 64, as a member of the Company's Board of Directors for a term expiring on the date of its 2016 annual meeting and will serve on the Board's Audit Committee.
Mr. Grabowsky's appointment increases the size of the Board to nine members until William Korb's retirement following the Company's April 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
.
Mr. Grabowsky is a co-founder and principal of Juniper Capital Management, a financial sponsor that provides capital to high-growth potential but under-resourced entrepreneurial companies based in the United States.
Previously and prior to his retirement from Grant Thornton, Mr. Grabowsky served as the Chief Operating officer of the U. S. firm from 2009 to 2013. In that role, Mr. Grabowsky oversaw the execution of the firm's strategy through each of the businesses and geographies. The U.S. operations of Grant Thornton included over 6,500 personnel with net revenues approximating $1.3 billion.
Mr. Grabowsky will be paid
in accordance with the Company's non-employee director compensation program, prorated for the current year, which is as follows: the compensation for non-employee directors consists of an annual retainer of $40,000 plus $2,500 for each Board meeting and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended,
an annual award of such number of restricted stock units equivalent in value to $50,000 (determined by dividing $50,000 by the average of the highest and lowest trading prices of the Company's stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of the award) and an option to purchase $30,000 in value of shares of the Company's common stock (estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the director's age and expected retirement date)
