Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On May 6, 2019, Lisa D. Earnhardt, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, informed the Company that she was resigning as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective June 5, 2019. Ms. Earnhardt will continue to serve as a director.
In connection with Ms. Earnhardt’s resignation, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Kieran T. Gallahue as the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board, effective May 7, 2019, and, in the event the Company has not recruited a President and CEO by the effective date of Ms. Earnhardt’s resignation, Mr. Gallahue will serve additionally as Interim President and CEO. Mr. Gallahue, age 55, has served as the Company’s Lead Director and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since April 2015. Mr. Gallahue served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CareFusion Corporation, a global healthcare company from February 2011 until its sale in March 2015.
