Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 28, 2022, Samuel E. Navarro resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of BioSig Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Navarro’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement regarding any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
On May 2, 2022, James Klein was appointed to the Board, effective as of the same date, to fill the vacancy on the Board as a result of Mr. Navarro’s resignation, to serve as a director of the Board for a term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or his earlier death, resignation or removal. For Mr. Klein’s service on the Board, Mr. Klein will receive compensation consistent with market practices of similarly situated companies that is consistent with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy as may be then in effect. In addition, Mr. Klein was granted 50,000 nonqualified stock options with a term of ten years, 50% of which vested immediately upon Mr. Klein’s acceptance of the Board’s offer of employment and 50% of which shall vest on the first anniversary of his appointment, provided Mr. Klein is still serving as a director on such date.
Mr. Klein has more than 30 years of experience in the semi-conductor industry. He recently retired from Qorvo (previously TriQuint) where he was the President of Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) from 2015-2021 and prior to that the Vice President and General Manager of IDP from 2011-2015. Mr. Klein was also the president of Qorvo Biotechnologies from 2020-2021. Mr. Klein spent the early part of his career at Texas Instruments (1988-1997) and Raytheon (1997-2011) - most of this part of his career was focused on the development and deployment of advanced semi-conductor technologies. Mr. Klein has both a B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University.
