On and effective April 12, 2019, Mr. Evan Morgan resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Pivotal Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and from each committee on which he served. Mr. Morgan was a member of the audit committee, nominating committee, and compensation committee of the Board. Mr. Morgan’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices (financial or otherwise).
Effective as of Mr. Morgan’s resignation from the Board, the Board is not comprised of a majority of independent directors and the audit committee of the Board contains two members.
