Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective as of May 19, 2020, Jeffrey A. Lipsitz resigned from his position as a Class III director on the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”). Mr. Lipsitz’s decision to resign as a director of YETI was not due to any disagreements with YETI on any matter relating to YETI’s operations, policies or practices.
Effective as of May 26, 2020, the Board appointed Tracey D. Brown as a Class III director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Lipsitz’s resignation. Ms. Brown will serve for an initial term ending at YETI’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until her successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board also determined that Ms. Brown is an independent director under applicable listing rules under The New York Stock Exchange and appointed Ms. Brown to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, having determined that she satisfies all applicable requirements to serve on such committee.
Ms. Brown is not a party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director, nor is she a party to any transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving YETI or any of its subsidiaries.
For her service on the Board as a non-employee director, Ms. Brown will receive compensation in the same manner as YETI’s other non-employee directors, including a pro-rated automatic initial restricted stock unit grant, in accordance with the YETI Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, which was filed as Exhibit 10.20 to YETI’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2018 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).
YETI will enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Brown in substantially the same form as the Form of Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.21 to the Registration Statement.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 20, 2020, YETI held its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). As of the close of business on the record date of March 25, 2020, there were 86,894,318 shares of YETI’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting, the following proposals were submitted to a vote of YETI’s stockholders, with the final voting results indicated below:
