Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 5, 2019, Rani Hublou’s employment with 8x8, Inc. (the “Company”) ended. Ms. Hublou formerly served as the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer.
On February 5, 2019, the Company’s board of directors (the "Board") conducted a review of the roles and responsibilities of the Company’s senior management team, as it does periodically. In connection with this review, the Board made the following determinations:
• | The Board determined that Steven Gatoff, Chief Financial Officer, performed a policy-making role with respect to the Company’s accounting function and should therefore be designated as the Company’s principal accounting officer. Mr. Gatoff succeeded Henrik Gerdes, the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, in this appointment. No change was made to the respective titles, compensation or other material employment terms of Mr. Gatoff nor Mr. Gerdes in connection with this change. |
• | The Board determined that as a consequence of the addition of strategic financial functions to the office of the Chief Financial Officer, Darren Hakeman, Senior Vice President, Strategy, Analytics and Corporate Development who had previously been a named executive officer, should no longer be considered an “officer” under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No change was made to Mr. Hakeman’s title, compensation or other material terms of employment in connection with this change in officer status. |
The information required by Items 401(b), (d), (e) and Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K with respect to Mr. Gatoff has been previously reported.
