Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principle Officers.
On February 10, 2009, Michael W. Woods, a member of the Board of Directors and the Chief Financial Officer of SearchPath Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors, and his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Woods and the Company decided to part ways until the Company could afford a Chief Financial Officer of his caliber and not as a result of any disagreement between the Company and Mr. Woods.
On February 10, 2009, the remaining Directors unanimously appointed Thomas K. Johnston as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer, effective as of such date. Mr. Johnston, 49, is the Company’s founder and has been a Director and our Chief Executive Officer and President since July 19, 2005. Prior to the founding of our Company, from 1997 through 2005, Mr. Johnston was an owner and Vice President of Pathfinder Search Partners in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Before that time, from 1992 to 1997, Mr. Johnston was the Director of Interim Executive Staffing at Management Recruiters International, in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was a member of the management team that transitioned the company into a full-service human resource solutions organization. Mr. Johnston earned his BA in Management Science at St. Bonaventure University. Mr. Johnston is the husband of Amy E. Johnston, the Company’s Vice President, Secretary and also a Director.
Mr. Johnston will not receive any compensation for his services as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and will serve in this capacity until his successor is qualified and chosen.
