Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 24, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Analysts International Corporation (the “Company”) reconstituted its Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) such that the Committee membership consists of Brigid A. Bonner and Joseph T. Dunsmore, both of whom have been previously determined by the Board to be “independent” as defined by the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).
The effect of this reconstitution was to remove Robert E. Woods, a non-independent director, from the Committee. The removal of Mr. Woods followed an informal inquiry from Nasdaq regarding the Company’s possible noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(e), which requires independent director oversight of director nominations.
On May 25, 2011, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq stating that, while the Company had previously not been in compliance with Rule 5605(e), the reconstitution of the Committee such that it now consists solely of independent directors was sufficient for the Company to regain compliance with Rule 5605(e) and that, subject to disclosing receipt of the letter from Nasdaq, the matter is now closed.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 5, 2011, Analysts International Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Form 8-K disclosing that on that date Christopher T. Cain had resigned from his employment as Senior Vice President, West Region, effective as of the close of business on June 1, 2011. At that time, the Company and Mr. Cain had not negotiated or agreed to the terms of Mr. Cain’s separation arrangements.
The Company is filing this Form 8-K to report that the Company and Mr. Cain have entered into a Separation Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Separation Agreement”) with an effective date of May 24, 2011.
The Separation Agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. Cain’s resignation from his position of Senior Vice President, West Region of Analysts International will be effective as of the close of business on June 1, 2011. He will continue to be compensated at his current annual base salary of $210,000 through that date. As severance compensation Mr. Cain will receive a single, lump sum payment in the amount of $64,140.00.
The Separation Agreement includes a release of all claims arising out of or relating to Mr. Cain’s employment with the Company and the termination of that employment.
In accordance with the requirements of Minnesota law, the Separation Agreement provides that Mr. Cain has the right to revoke the release of claims contained in the agreement within 15 calendar days after signing the agreement, and also provides a concurrent revocation period of seven days after signing the agreement under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein
