2 Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers On October 31, 2016, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of DLH Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “DLH”) approved an increase in the base salary of Ms. Kathryn M. JohnBull, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, from $245,718 to $318,750 per annum. This salary increase was made effective as of October 1, 2016. The Committee determined that it was appropriate to increase Ms. JohnBull’s base compensation for fiscal 2017 in light of the substantial increase in the responsibilities of our Chief Financial Officer as a result of the Company’s recent acquisition of Danya International, LLC and the resulting growth in the size and scope of the Company’s business. The Committee determined this new level of compensation following careful review of numerous factors, including but not limited to comparable compensation data for chief financial officers of peer group issuers, as provided to the Committee’s by its independent executive pay advisors, Veritas Executive Compensation Consultants.
