(d) Election of Director
Effective January 7, 2010, the Board of Directors of EDAC Technologies Corporation (“the Company”) increased the number of directors from six to seven, as permitted by the Company’s By-Laws, and elected Lee Barba as a director of the Company effective as of January 7, 2010. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Barba will be an independent director as such term is defined in Nasdaq Rule 4200(a)(15). The Board did not appoint Mr. Barba to any committees at this time.
As a new director of the Company, Mr. Barba was granted a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock effective January 7, 2010. The exercise price of such options was equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of such grant.
As a member of the Board of Directors, the Company will also pay Mr. Barba a retainer of $4,000 for the current fiscal quarter, prorated based on the number of calendar days Mr. Barba actually serves as a director. Mr. Barba will also receive $1,500 for each non-telephonic Board of Directors or committee meeting attended, and $500 for participating in each telephonic Board of Directors or committee meeting at which a substantive resolution is considered.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Barba and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no current or proposed transactions between the Company and Mr. Barba or his immediate family members requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A copy of the Company’s press release announcing Mr. Barba’s election is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference.
