Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective March 1, 2013, Peter K. Grunebaum resigned from the Board of Directors of Lucas Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) due to health reasons. Effective March 3, 2013, Joshua D. Young resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company to pursue other endeavors. Neither Mr. Grunebaum nor Mr. Young resigned from the Board of Directors in connection with a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company thanks Mr. Grunebaum and Mr. Young for their services.
In connection with the resignations, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to extend the termination date of all of such resigning directors’ vested options to the end of the stated term of such options (previously, such vested options would have expired three months after their resignation dates as directors of the Company). All of the unvested options held by such resigning directors expired immediately upon such resignations.
Mr. Grunebaum did not serve on any committees of the Board of Directors (Mr. Grunebaum served on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors until February 11, 2013, at which time he was replaced on such committee by W. Andrew Krusen, Jr.). Mr. Young served on the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. Effective in connection with Mr. Young’s resignation, J. Fred Hofheinz was appointed to the Nominating and Governance Committee to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Young’s resignation.
The Board of Directors intends to conduct a search to fill the vacancies created by Mr. Grunebaum’s and Mr. Young’s resignations.
