On November 3, 2015, Mark Frost, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. (the "Company"), notified the Company that he is resigning in order to accept the position of Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer at Analogic Corporation. Mr. Frost will remain available to the Company through November 20, 2015. Mr. Frost is not resigning because of a disagreement on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
On November 9, 2015, Michael Trimarchi, the Company's Vice President and Global Controller, was appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective upon Mr. Frost's resignation. The Company has initiated a search for a permanent successor.
Mr. Trimarchi, 35, has served as the Company's Vice President and Global Controller since 2014. Prior to that, he served as the Company's Director, Corporate FP&A, from 2013 to 2014. Mr. Trimarchi served as Vice President, Corporate FP&A, for Vistaprint from 2012 to 2013 and as Global Controller for Vistaprint from 2009 to 2012. Mr. Trimarchi served as Assistant Controller for the Company from 2006 to 2009. Prior to that, Mr. Trimarchi worked as an auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers from 2002 to 2006. Mr. Trimarchi received a degree in accounting from the University at Albany, SUNY.
In connection with Mr. Trimarchi's appointment as the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee of Board of Directors of the Company approved an $80,000 cash retention bonus payable to Mr. Trimarchi, subject to his continued employment with the Company through May 6, 2016. Mr. Trimarchi will also be entitled to the retention bonus if, prior to May 6, 2016, he is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for cause or he terminates his employment for good reason. Commensurate with severance benefits payable to other executive officers, Mr. Trimarchi will be eligible for severance benefits equal to twelve months base pay.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Trimarchi and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer of the Company. Mr. Trimarchi does not have any family relationship with any director or other executive officer of the Company or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Trimarchi has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
