Item 5.02(b). Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
As previously announced at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FormFactor, Inc. (the Company) on May 19, 2005, William H. Davidow, Ph.D., the Companys Chairperson and a Class I member of the board of directors (the Board) has confirmed that he will step down from the Board effective August 5, 2005. Dr. Davidow has accepted an appointment to become Chairperson Emeritus of the Company beginning August 5, 2005.
The Company also announced the election of James A. Prestridge, a current member of the Board, to the position of Chairperson of the Board, effective August 5, 2005.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 19, 2005, the Companys Board established a Director Emeritus program under which former directors may be appointed to the position of Director Emeritus or Chairperson Emeritus in recognition of their service on the Board and to assist in continuity of membership on the Board. Individuals appointed as Director Emeritus or Chairperson Emeritus will serve for renewable one year terms. They will receive no annual stock grant and no annual fee, but will receive the same compensation for attendance at Board meetings as is received by members of the Board, as detailed in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 23, 2005. Persons who accept appointment to the position of Director Emeritus or Chairperson Emeritus, as the case may be, will provide advisory and consulting services on such business matters as the Board may determine and may attend all meetings of the Board and participate in a non-voting capacity at such meetings. Persons serving as Director Emeritus or Chairperson Emeritus will be subject to the same trading windows and restrictions as members of the Board.
In connection with the establishment of the Director Emeritus program, effective May 19, 2005, the Board amended the Companys By-laws to add the following provision:
Section 2.11: Directors Emeritus; Chairperson Emeritus. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board, appoint a director or former director who has served the corporation with distinction as a Director Emeritus or, in the case of a director who has served as chairperson of the Board of Directors, as Chairperson Emeritus. Such appointment shall in each case be for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders but shall be subject to renewal, by the same vote, at the meeting of the Board immediately following the Annual Meeting. A Director Emeritus or Chairperson Emeritus shall not be considered a member of the Board of Directors, but shall be a consultant to the Board and, in such capacity, shall be invited to attend all meetings of the Board and such meetings of the committees of the Board as the chairman of the Board shall determine to be appropriate. For his or her services, a Director Emeritus or Chairperson Emeritus shall be entitled to receive the same compensation for meetings actually attended as members of the Board of Directors, but shall not be entitled to receive any annual or other periodic fee or retainer paid to members of the Board.
