On May 25, 2010, Richard T. Allorto, Jr. announced his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of GSC Investment Corp. (the “Company”), to be effective on July 15, 2010.
On July 7, 2010, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) appointed Eric A. Snyder to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to be effective on July 15, 2010 upon Mr. Allorto’s resignation. From May 2000 to the present, Mr. Snyder, age 46, has served as Managing Director and Controller of GSC Group, the parent of the Company’s investment adviser, where he was responsible, among other things, for financial reporting, managing GSC Group’s credit facility, overseeing external audits and communicating with the ratings agencies. Mr. Snyder will serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
In addition to being the parent of the Company’s investment adviser, GSC Group, Inc., together with its affiliates, owns approximately 11.4% of the Company’s common stock. There are no material relationships or family relationships between Mr. Snyder and any of the Company’s directors, executive officers, or the immediate family members of any such person.
In addition, on July 7, 2010, Robert F. Cummings, Jr., who was elected at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to the class of directors whose terms expire in 2013, resigned immediately after the Annual Meeting and thereafter the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Cummings to the class of directors whose terms expire in 2011. This resulted in the Board of Directors having two directors whose terms expire in 2011, one director whose term expires in 2012 and two directors whose terms expire in 2013. This change was made in order to comply with the Company’s articles of incorporation and Section 304 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, which require that all classes of a classified bo ard of directors be of approximately equal size.
