Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 5, 2010, the Board of Directors of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. elected Gail Maderis as a member of the Board of Directors. Ms. Maderis was elected to replace Dr. Harry Hixson, who recently resigned from the Board. Ms. Maderis was elected as a Class III director, which class of directors shall serve until the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Maderis’ election brings the total number of directors to eight (8).
Ms. Maderis was not appointed to any committee of the Board of Directors; however, at the time of the filing of this report it is expected that Ms. Maderis will be appointed to two committees at the next meeting of the Board of Directors.
As a director of NovaBay, Ms. Maderis will be entitled to compensation that NovaBay pays to its non-employee directors, as disclosed in NovaBay’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2010.
There have been no transactions in the past two years to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which Ms. Maderis had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest. Additional information about Ms. Maderis can be found in the press release that is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this filing.
