Election of Cedric L. Richmond as Director

 

On August 25, 2022, Cedric L. Richmond was elected to our Board of Directors.

 

Cedric L. Richmond, age 48, is the former Senior Advisor to the Executive Office of the President of the United States and Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement in the Biden Administration, serving in such positions from January 2021 to May 2022. Currently, Mr. Richmond is the President of Richmond & Company, LLC, a governmental affairs consulting firm founded in May 2022.

 

Prior to joining the Biden Administration in January 2021, Mr. Richmond served as a Member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Louisiana’s Second District, from January 2011 to January 2021. While serving in the United States House of Representatives, Mr. Richmond served on the Committee on Small Business, the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. Richmond was also elected as the youngest person to ever serve as the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, serving in such position from January 2017 to January 2019. From 2000 to 2010, Mr. Richmond served as a Member of the Louisiana House of Representatives where he represented the 101st District.

 

Mr. Richmond received a B.A. degree in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting from Morehouse College, a J.D. degree from Tulane University School of Law and is a graduate of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government Executive Program for Senior Executives in Government. Mr. Richmond has also received honorary doctorate degrees from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Our Board of Directors believes that Mr. Richmond’s extensive experience in government service, insight into regulatory affairs, and his expertise in governance, oversight and ethics gained through service in the public sector, bring unique and valuable perspective to our Board and our company.

 

Mr. Richmond will serve on our Board’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) committee.

 

During the last two years, there have been no transactions or proposed transactions by us in which Mr. Richmond has had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Richmond and any of our executive officers or other directors.

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Richmond is “independent,” as independence is defined in the listing rules for the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

With the addition of Mr. Richmond, our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members.

 

We issued a press release announcing the election of Mr. Richmond to our Board of Directors on August 31, 2022, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
