On April 8, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Insteel Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Anne H. Lloyd to serve as an independent director of the Company effective April 16, 2019. Ms. Lloyd is being appointed to the board to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Charles B. Newsome effective February 12, 2019. Mr. Newsome’s retirement is not related to any disagreement with the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

Pursuant to North Carolina law, Ms. Lloyd will stand for shareholder election to the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Following Ms. Lloyd’s appointment and Mr. Newsome’s retirement, Insteel’s board will continue to be comprised of seven directors.

The RSUs are typically granted on the date of the Company’s annual meeting and have a one-year vesting period.
