Appointment of Evelyn Follit

On September 16, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Evelyn Follit to its Board of Directors. It is anticipated that Ms. Follit will be appointed to one or more committees of the Board. Ms. Follit has been the President of Follit Associates, a corporate technology and executive assessment consulting firm since 2007. From 1997 to 2005, she was an executive of RadioShack Corporation, a consumer electronics retail company, where she held the positions of Senior Vice President, Chief Information Officer, and Chief Organizational Enabling Services Officer. Evelyn has over 20 years in leadership positions with major corporations including IBM and Dun & Bradstreet, in the areas of information technology, human resources and operations management. She is currently on the boards of TECO Energy, Inc. and Beall’s Inc.

William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We are very excited and honored to have Evelyn Follit join our Board of Directors. We are confident she will be a strong addition to our Board and her wealth of experience and expertise in information technology and operations management will complement our ongoing efforts to continue growing the MarineMax brand. On behalf of the Board, we welcome Evelyn and look forward to her future contributions to the Company."

There is no arrangement or understanding pursuant to which Ms. Follit was selected as a director. There are no related party transactions between the Company and Ms. Follit that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The compensation of Ms. Follit will be consistent with that provided to all non-employee directors, as described in our most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2015 (and amended on February 13, 2015).
