Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 24, 2011, we appointed Valerie L. Grindle as Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Grindle replaces Janelle Conaway, who served as the Company’s Controller and who resigned for personal reasons.
Ms. Grindle is 54 years of age; and she has no family relationships with anyone at PCS. Her annual compensationpackage provides for a $100,000 salary, with $80,000 in cash and $20,000 in restricted stock awards, 250,000 to 300,000 in restricted stock awards up front as a “signing bonus,” along with an additional 750,000 in restricted stock awards that will be made available during the first year as incentive compensation.
Ms. Grindle joins PCS having most recently served as CFO of Great American Appetizers, a private manufacturing company in Nampa, Idaho since 2009. Previously, she founded and, from 1995 until 2009, operated a consulting practice that provided interim C-level executive services to companies. As a part of her consulting practice, Ms. Grindle orchestrated a turn-around as Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors of a pharmaceutical reverse distribution company. During this engagement, she developed a solid management team, renegotiated credit lines and attracted additional equity investment. Ms. Grindle also spearheaded new budgeting and forecasting systems as Chief Financial Officer of the North American division of Mincom, Inc., an Australian based software development firm. From 1992 until 1995, she was Vice President of Tele-Communications, Inc of Englewood, Colorado, where she was responsible for worldwide accounting for the major cable conglomerate. In addition to her core responsibilities at TCI, Ms. Grindle developed the vision and directed the implementation of a complete reengineering of the accounting division’s core business processes, including a new financial system and an extensive leadership employee development program. Prior to TCI, Ms. Grindle served at Tenneco, Inc. as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Tenneco Minerals and later as President of Tenneco’s Houston Oil and Minerals Exploration. At Tenneco, she was instrumental in negotiating the sale of that company’s minerals division to a strategic investor. Ms. Grindle holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Colorado State University, as well as an M.S. in Management from Krannert Graduate School of Business at Purdue University.
