ITEM 5. Other Events.
Appointment of New Directors to the Board
- -----------------------------------------
On January 26, 1998, Cimetrix, Incorporated (the "Company")
accepted the resignations of Dave L. Redmond and Paul A. Johnson,
as members of its Board of Directors. Mr. Redmond and Mr.
Johnson resigned from the Board of Directors at the request of
the Company and were replaced by Mr. Randall A. Mackey and Dr.
Lowell K. Anderson, both of whom were appointed to serve until
the Company's next annual meeting of the shareholders, currently
scheduled for April 18, 1998.
The Company determined that it would be more efficient and
more cost effective to have its Board of Directors consist of
individuals residing in the Salt Lake City area. Mr. Redmond
resides in Tampa, Florida and Mr. Johnson in Dallas, Texas. Both
Mr. Mackey and Dr. Anderson reside in the Salt Lake City area.
The Company's present policy of seeking to compose its Board of
Directors with individuals from the Salt Lake City area is also
consistent with the Company's decision to close its offices in
Tampa, Florida; Los Angeles, California and San Francisco,
California, and consolidate all employees, other than salesmen,
in its Salt Lake City, Utah offices.
Mr. Mackey has been a shareholder of the Salt Lake City law
firm of Mackey, Price & Williams and its predecessor firms since
1989. From 1979 to 1989, he practiced law with the Salt Lake
City law firm of Fabian & Clendenin, where he was a shareholder
and director of the firm from 1982 to 1989. From 1977 to 1979
Mr. Mackey was associated with the Washington, D.C. law firm of
Hogan & Hartson. Mr. Mackey received a Bachelor of Science
degree in Economics from the University of Utah in 1968, a Master
in Business Administration degree from Harvard University in
1970, a Juris Doctor degree from Columbia University in 1975 and
a Bachelor of Civil Law degree from Oxford University in 1977.
Mr. Mackey has served as Secretary and a director since November
1995 of Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc., which produces
ophthalmic surgical systems.
Dr. Anderson has practiced oral and maxillofacial surgery
in Salt Lake City, Utah since 1975. From 1973 to 1975, Dr.
Anderson served as a Major in the United States Air Force. From
1970 to 1973, he did his residency at Mayo Clinic and Mayo
Graduate School of Medicine. Dr. Anderson graduated from the
University of Louisville Dental School in 1966. He is currently
a member of the Brigham Young University Alumni Board and a
member of the Board of Directors for the Academy of L.D.S.
Dentists. Dr. Anderson also served as President of the Western
Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, representing over 600
surgeons.
