On December 28, 2016, Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), after concluding that it was appropriate to move Mr. Thomas D. Sullivan from an employee director to a non-employee director to more closely align with the go forward role that Mr. Sullivan would be performing for the Company, eliminated Mr. Sullivan’s position as an employee of the Company effective as of December 31, 2016. Following that decision, Mr. Sullivan submitted his resignation as a director of the Company effective as of December 31, 2016, which the board of directors accepted.
Mr. Sullivan founded the Company in 1994 when he identified the opportunity to sell surplus building materials at heavily discounted prices. Thanks to Mr. Sullivan's vision and perseverance, today, with more than 370 locations, the Company is North America's largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring. The Company expresses its enormous respect, admiration and gratitude to Mr. Sullivan for the wisdom and guidance he provided to the Company over his many years of service.
