The Board also appointed Mr. Guertin to serve as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board effective as of September 15, 2020.

Mr. Guertin will receive the standard compensation and indemnification applicable to all other non-employee directors.

The Company has not been a participant in any transaction since the beginning of its last fiscal year, and is not a participant in any currently proposed transaction, in which Mr. Guertin, or any member of his immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
