SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT DATED APRIL 25, 2019
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
JUNE 6, 2019
On April 25, 2019, Unique Fabricating, Inc (the “Company”) mailed to its stockholders a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on June 6, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). This Supplement, which describes recent changes in the senior management of the Company, should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. Except as modified by this Supplement, the information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares.
Separation of Chief Executive Officer and Appointment of Interim Chief Executive Officer
On May 6, 2019, John Weinhardt resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company by mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. Weinhardt. The Company has determined to treat such resignation pursuant to Mr. Weinhardt’s Employment Agreement, dated March 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”), as a termination without “cause”, which entitles Mr. Weinhardt to receive the amounts provided in Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement, as described at page 18 of the Proxy Statement, subject to Mr. Weinhardt’s compliance with his continuing obligations pursuant to the Employment Agreement and a release executed by him in favor of the Company. Mr. Weinhardt remains as a director.
On May 6, 2019, the Board appointed Thomas Tekiele, the Company Chief Financial Officer, as Interim Chief Executive Officer, and announced that it will be conducting a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer with the assistance of a leading executive recruiting firm. Mr. Tekiele joined Unique in 2001 as our Chief Financial Officer and will continue to perform that function while serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer.
