Ms. Faust succeeds Joanne Solomon, who is leaving the Company to pursue other opportunities, effective September 12, 2016.

Ms. Faust, 42, has served as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Corporate Controller since 2013 and Corporate Controller since 2010.

In connection with her appointment, Ms. Faust will receive an annual base salary of $300,000, will be eligible for an annual cash incentive under the Company’s 2016 Executive Bonus Plan with a target incentive opportunity of 75% of base salary and will be granted options to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock. The options will have an exercise price equal to fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and will vest over four years as follows: 25% of the shares subject to the option will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/16th of the shares subject to the option will vest quarterly thereafter. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Faust and any other persons pursuant to which she was chosen to become an officer, she has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and she has no family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company.

Ms. Solomon entered into an agreement and release with the Company that provides for her to receive (i) a lump sum of $460,000 (one-year base salary), (ii) a lump sum amount equal to the bonus she would have been paid, if any, under the Company’s 2016 Executive Bonus Plan when payments are made to participants generally under the plan, (iii) reasonable costs of outplacement services, and (iv) payment of health insurance premiums for up to twelve months. Further, Ms. Solomon’s unvested stock options and shares of restricted stock and vested stock options will be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement.
