Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 15, 2023, we received notification from our member, La Plata Electric Association, Inc. (“LPEA”), that the LPEA Board of Directors elected to withdraw its membership representation on our Board of Directors. LPEA voluntarily waived or declined its representation on our Board of Directors, as provided in our Bylaws, through its resolution to “vacate” our Board of Directors until further notice. Accordingly, effective as of December 15, 2023, LPEA withdrew its representative, Kohler McInnis, from our Board of Directors. To our knowledge, this is not due to any disagreement that Mr. McInnis has with us.
