Item 5.02 Departure of Directors of Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers.
On June 12, 2007, McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath," the "Registrant", or the
"Company") announced the promotion of Mr. Joseph F. Hanna, age 44, to Senior
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective June 6, 2007. Mr. Hanna
has served as our Senior Vice President of Operations since January 2005. He
served as Vice President of Operations since joining the Company in 2003. Mr.
Hanna has extensive sales and operations experience, including 12 years at SMC
Corporation of America (a subsidiary of SMC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) where he
served most recently as Director, Sales and Operations, Western United States.
His prior experience also includes serving as an officer in the United States
Army. Mr. Hanna received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the United States
Military Academy, West Point, New York.
Mr. Hanna is employed by the Company on an "at-will" basis with a
current annual base salary of $260,000 and an annual bonus of up to 91% of his
annual base salary based on a combination of the level of the Company's pre-tax
profit for the year and the extent to which Mr. Hanna achieves his own
individual performance goals. There are no family relationships between Mr.
Hanna and any of our executive officers or directors.
The Company had previously entered into Indemnification Agreements with
each of our directors and executive officers, including Mr. Hanna. These
Agreements require the Company to indemnify our officers or directors against
expenses and, in certain cases, judgments, settlements or other payments
incurred by the officer or director in suits brought by the Company, derivative
actions brought by shareholders and suits brought by other third parties.
Indemnification has been granted under these Agreements to the fullest extent
permitted under California law in situations where the officer or director is
made, or threatened to be made, a party to the legal proceeding because of his
or her service to the Company.
