Departure of G. Edward Evans, Chief Executive Officer
On January 16, 2015, Inteliquent, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that G. Edward Evans will be departing as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in connection with the upcoming expiration of the employment agreement dated April 1, 2011 between the Company and Mr. Evans (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”). While the term of the Employment Agreement is set to expire on March 31, 2015, the Company and Mr. Evans anticipate that Mr. Evans will continue to act as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer beyond such date under the terms of the Employment Agreement if necessary to permit the Company to complete its search for his successor. In addition, it is anticipated that Mr. Evans will resign as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors upon his departure as Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Evans may enter into a written employment separation agreement and release in connection with his departure. However, since the terms of Mr. Evans’ separation arrangement have not been finalized, the Company has not included such terms in this Form 8-K. The final terms of any such separation and any related agreements will be disclosed in a future Form 8-K filing.
A copy of the press release regarding Mr. Evans’ departure is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
