Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 21, 2016, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the board of directors (the “Board”) of DHI Group, Inc. (the “Company”), Peter Ezersky, the Chairman of the Board, announced his resignation from the Board, effective January 31, 2016.

Mr. Ezersky (a director since August 2005 and Chairman since September 2013) had been designated as a director by investment funds affiliated with Quadrangle Group LLC (the “Quadrangle Funds”) pursuant to that certain Institutional and Management Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) dated July 23, 2007, by and among the Company, the Quadrangle Entities named therein and the General Atlantic Entities named therein.

At the time of his appointment to the Board, Mr. Ezersky was a Managing Principal of Quadrangle Group LLC. In January 2015, Mr. Ezersky ceased his affiliation with Quadrangle Group LLC, whereupon he joined Rhône Group LLC, to assume his current role, as a Managing Director.

On December 8, 2015, the Quadrangle Funds ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Quadrangle Funds ceased to be entitled to designate any directors to the Board pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.

Upon Mr. Ezersky’s notification of his resignation, the Board voted to appoint John W. Barter (who is currently a member of the Board) to serve as Chairman of the Board, effective upon Mr. Ezersky’s resignation.
