Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 26, 2023, Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2023. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) On October 24, 2023, Scott Carter, the Executive Chair of the Board of Directors, notified the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) of his intention to resign from his role as an executive of the Company but to remain as the Chair of the Board effective as of December 1, 2023. Mr. Carter was appointed to the role of Executive Chair of the Board in January 2023 to provide additional day to day support to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and senior management team as they refined the Company’s organic growth strategy and to provide additional oversight and assistance as the Company worked to bring current the Company’s required filings of its quarterly and annual periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with his resignation from the Executive role, Mr. Carter noted his belief that the role was no longer necessary based on the Company’s expectation of being current on all required filings shortly as well as the substantial progress made around the refinement of the Company’s organic growth strategy. Following his resignation from the Executive role, Mr. Carter will receive cash and equity compensation as a non-employee director and continue to vest in his outstanding equity awards, subject to his continued service to the Company. Mr. Carter’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of the Company.
