Appointment of Director
On April 29, 2013, Enservco Corporation’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors expanded the Board to five persons and appointed Steven P. Oppenheim as a director to fill the resulting vacancy. In order to align Mr. Oppenheim’s interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, the Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. The options vest immediately, are exercisable at $1.27 per share, and expire on April 29, 2018. Inasmuch as the Board of Directors has not constituted any Board committees, Mr. Oppenheim will not serve on any at the present time.
Mr. Oppenheim, age 66, has 40 years of accounting, securities, tax and finance experience. He served as an independent member of the Board of Directors of Sunair Services Corporation (AMEX SNR) from January 2004 to mid-December 2009 at which time SNR’s business was sold to a private competitor and SNR’s entire Board ceased to serve. He served on SNR’s Audit Committee during his term as a director and interacted with SEC counsel and outside accountants relating to 1933 Act and Exchange Act filings and compliance, acquisitions and divestitures. Mr. Oppenheim also served as Chairs of SNR’s Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee from 2006 to mid-December 2009, handling stock option grants, employee plans and executive compensation, and with nominating process of new directors and director independence review. SNR operated a global telecommunications division and a Florida statewide lawn-pest control division.
Mr. Oppenheim obtained both his Juris Doctor and Bachelor of Business Administration -Accounting Degrees from the University of Miami, emphasizing accounting, finance, tax and securities. He currently works as a corporate officer of three separate private business enterprises and has done so for the past 15 years. These businesses include a high-end European men-women fashion stores in the United States and Canada, a company involved with dinner theater entertainment with children-parent interactive themed adventure and variety shows in Florida and California, and a digital media-advertising provider in Latin America. In each of these cases Mr. Oppenheim is involved with ongoing work in accounting and financial statements, and employee compensation and benefits, and he interacts with outside counsel and accountants.
Mr. Oppenheim previously served as Tax Supervisor at Coopers & Lybrand CPA firm, with audit and tax staff for accounting systems, audit work papers, financial statements and tax matters. Also more than 25 years ago, he represented a private oil refinery and independent oil dealer, reviewed oil and gas private placement ventures, and served as personal advisor to a former President of Texaco Inc. He is not a director of any other public companies.
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
On April 29, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Robert J. Devers as the Company’s Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”). This appointment allows the Company’s president, Rick Kasch, who was CFO prior to Mr. Devers’ appointment, to focus on other areas of the Company’s business. Mr. Devers has significant experience with financial operations of public companies, and the Directors believe that he will provide valuable contributions to the Company. In order to further align Mr. Devers’ interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, the Directors approved an employment agreement with Mr. Devers with an annual salary of $150,000 and an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, with one-third (50,000 shares) vesting on each anniversary date until April 29, 2016, at an exercise price of $1.27 per share. The options expire on April 29, 2018. The employment is an annual employment agreement that renews automatically unless either party provides not less than 60 days’ notice of non-renewal.
Mr. Devers, age 50, is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Colorado and has more than 20 years of financial management experience. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Devers spent the last two years as an independent consultant providing finance and accounting services to public companies in the mining and beverage distribution sectors. From June 2007 to April 2011, Mr. Devers served as Chief Financial Officer of Silver Bull Resources, a mineral exploration company that was listed on both the NYSE MKT and TSX. Additionally, Mr. Devers served as Senior Director – Financial Analysis and Internal Audit of The Broe Companies Inc., a large privately held international company in the Denver area with investments in real estate, transportation, mining, and oil and gas exploration. He has also served as a corporate officer and financial executive for several other privately-held and publicly traded companies.
