On February 18, 2014, the Board of Directors of Agilysys, Inc. named Michael A. Kaufman to the Board to fill the vacancy created when R. Andrew Cueva resigned as a director effective February 14, 2014, following his earlier resignation as a Managing Director of MAK Capital One LLC (“MAK Capital”), our largest shareholder.
Mr. Kaufman, 41, is the President of MAK Capital, a financial investment advisory firm based in New York, NY, which he founded in 2002.

Mr. Kaufman is the controlling person of MAK Capital. MAK Capital and its related entities have been investors in Agilysys since 2009 and beneficially own more than 31% of our common stock. As a director, Mr. Kaufman is entitled to participate in the compensation program for outside directors, which typically include an annual equity grant of restricted stock. Mr. Kaufman waived any equity grant for fiscal year 2014.
Mr. Kaufman was appointed as a Class B Director and will also serve on the Board’s Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. His remaining term as a Class B Director will expire at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
