Resignation of Director
On February 13, 2017, Thomas C. Tiller, Jr. resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (“ServiceMaster” or the “Company”). Up until his resignation, Mr. Tiller had also been serving as chair of the Board’s Compensation Committee and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Appointment of New Director
Effective as of February 15, 2017, the Board appointed Peter L. Cella to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Tiller’s resignation. Mr. Cella will serve as a Class I Director, where his initial term will expire at the Company’s 2018 annual stockholders meeting. The Board determined, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, that Mr. Cella is “independent” as defined under NYSE listing standards. Mr. Cella was also appointed as a member of the Board’s Compensation Committee.
No arrangements exist between the Company and Mr. Cella or any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no transactions in which Mr. Cella has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Mr. Cella will be entitled to participate in the Company’s publicly disclosed director compensation plans, pursuant to which he will receive an annual retainer on the same terms as the Company’s other non-employee directors. Such director compensation plans are described in more detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2016 under “The Board of Directors and Corporate Governance— Director Compensation.”
In connection with these events, ServiceMaster issued a press release on February 17, 2017, a copy of which is being furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
