On October 25, 2016 the Haemonetics Corporation Board of Directors elected Catherine M. Burzik as a Class I Director for a term which expires at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Ms. Burzik was also appointed to the Audit Committee.
As of the date of her election, Ms. Burzik is entitled to receive compensation and participate in the plans applicable to all directors, as more particularly described on page 46 of the Haemonetics’ proxy statement filed June 10, 2016, under the heading “Directors’ Compensation”.
In connection with her election, Ms. Burzik received an initial grant of Restricted Stock Units valued at $170,000.00. The Restricted Stock Units vest on the first anniversary of grant and are issued under the Haemonetics Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. The terms and conditions of this equity award are consistent with the Company’s equity award agreements filed by the Company as exhibits to the 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015.
The selection of Ms. Burzik was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with respect to any other person.
