SUPPLEMENT TO
PROXY STATEMENT
DATED MAY 10, 2018
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 12, 2018
Withdrawal of Director Nominee
This Supplement provides updated information with respect to the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of BSQUARE Corporation (the “Company”) to be held on June 12, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).
On or about May 1, 2018, the Company commenced the mailing to its shareholders of a Notice of the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Notice and Proxy Statement”) for the Annual Meeting. This Supplement describes a recent change in the proposed nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Please read this Supplement in conjunction with the Notice and Proxy Statement.
On May 9, 2018, the Company announced that Jerry D. Chase had stepped down as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and from the Board effective immediately. As a result of his departure from the Board, Mr. Chase will no longer be standing for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.
At this time, the Board is not nominating a replacement director, and the Board will be comprised of six members until a replacement director is nominated and appointed to the Board. The remaining nominee named in the Notice and Proxy Statement will continue to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Notwithstanding Mr. Chase’s withdrawal as a nominee for re-election to the Board, the form of proxy card included with the Notice and Proxy Statement remains valid; however, any votes that are submitted with instructions to vote for all of the Board’s nominees will be voted only for the one remaining nominee, as named in the Notice and Proxy Statement. If you have already returned your proxy card or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. If you have not yet returned your proxy card or submitted your voting instructions, please complete and return the proxy card or submit voting instructions, disregarding Mr. Chase’s name as a nominee for election as director.
None of the other agenda items presented in the Notice and Proxy Statement are affected by this Supplement, and shares represented by proxy cards returned or voting instructions submitted before the Annual Meeting will be voted with respect to all other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting as instructed on the proxy card or pursuant to the voting instructions.
