Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e)    On March 28, 2019, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved a decrease in the annual base salary of our current Chief Technology Officer, Rajkumar Jalan, from $271,688 to $6,240, effective as of April 1, 2019 and for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The change was made at Mr. Jalan’s request such that the balance of his intended salary could be reallocated by the Committee to be used for expenses for the engineering department generally. Mr. Jalan’s new salary is intended to cover the cost of his health benefits.

Starting January 1, 2020, Mr. Jalan’s annual base salary shall be $300,000, subject to possible modification as part of the Company’s normal annual executive compensation review process for fiscal 2020.
