Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
On June 7, 2022, Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Stephen L. Belland, as a director of the Company, effective June 7, 2022, until the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Belland (age 65) is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Integrated Connection, LLC and a Principal at Clear Rock Advisors. Prior to Clear Rock Advisors, he has held various executive positions at Rockwell Collins including Technical Director, Vice President of Program and Product Management, Vice President of Strategy and Marketing and most recently Vice President of Corporate Development. Mr. Belland received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Michigan Technological University and has attended executive programs at Kellogg, Wharton and Insead.
Mr. Belland is expected to serve on committees of the Board, but such committees have not yet been determined. As non-employee director of the Company, Mr. Belland will receive compensation for his service on the Board under the Company’s director compensation program. Under the terms of the program, Mr. Belland is entitled to annual cash compensation of $25,000, a fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting attended and $1,500 for each in-person committee meeting that is not held on the same day as a Board meeting. The Company also makes annual awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units, with each such unit representing a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting, to non-employee directors under the 2019 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan. The target value of such annual awards is $40,000 for each non-employee director.
Mr. Belland is not party to any material plan, contract, or arrangement with the Company other than those related to his compensation as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (and such description is incorporated herein by reference). There are no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Belland was appointed to the Board, and Mr. Belland is not a party to any transaction with the Company reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933.
