Item 5.02 Appointment and Departure of Directors;
On October 12, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of eMagin Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Eric Braddom to serve as an independent director of the Company and a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board.
Eric Braddom, age 49, is currently the Vice President and General Manager, Augmented and Virtual Reality Solutions at Flex Ltd. From 2010 to 2015, he held multiple positions at TE Connectivity, formerly Tyco Electronics, including Vice President of Strategy in the Consumer Solutions Division, where he worked with the executive team to manage and grow the $800 million consumer devices business. From 2008 to 2010, Mr. Braddom served as Director of Global Marketing for the eReaders consumer segment at Freescale Semiconductor. Prior to joining Freescale Semiconductor, Mr. Braddom held positions of increasing responsibility at Texas Instruments from 1996 to 2008, focused primarily on the Digital Light Processing (DLP®) display business, where his responsibilities included starting operations in Shanghai and Taiwan. Mr. Braddom received an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin and a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.
The Board believes Mr. Braddom is well qualified to serve as a director of the Company because of his extensive experience in augmented and virtual reality markets and knowledge of manufacturing and high-volume operations.
In accordance with the Company’s compensation policy for non-employee directors, upon his commencement of service as a director, Mr. Braddom will be granted a non-qualified stock option, with a grant date fair value of $12,500, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock having an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and which vest in full and become exercisable six months following the date of grant. In addition, for his continuing services as a director, Mr. Braddom will receive annually a $40,000 cash retainer paid quarterly and nonqualified stock options, with a grant date fair value of $50,000, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock having an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and which vest in full and become exercisable six months following the date of grant.
There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Braddom and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Braddom was selected as a director, and there are no related person transactions within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) between Mr. Braddom and the Company required to be disclosed herein.
On October 12, 2018, Dr. Leslie G. Polgar provided notice to the Board of his decision to resign as a director and as a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board. Dr. Polgar’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company.
