(b)
On October 31, 2017, Joseph Zaelit resigned as a director of the Company. Mr. Zaelit’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of the Company.

On October 31, 2017, the Board appointed Randy Ortiz as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Ortiz will serve as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.
Mr. Ortiz served as President and Chief Executive Officer and director of LoJack Corporation from November 2011 through March 2016. Mr. Ortiz served as Chief Executive Officer of Carmoza LLC, an auto transport services company, from November 2010 to October 2011, and as director of Carmoza LLC from April 2010 to October 2011. From 2002 until his retirement in 2010, Mr. Ortiz held a variety of senior executive positions at Ford Motor Company. He served as Executive Director and General Manager of Ford’s Worldwide Export Operations from 2002 to 2005, General Manager of Sales for Ford’s Customer Service Division in 2006, and General Manager at Ford and Lincoln-Mercury Sales Operations from 2007 until March 2010, and various other management positions from 1982 through 2002.

director to join the Board as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “New Director”) as promptly as practicable following the execution of the Agreement. On October 30, 2017, the Nokomis Group confirmed in writing with the Company that upon the appointment of Mr. Ortiz to the Board as a Class III director, Mr. Ortiz will be the New Director and will satisfy the requirements of the Agreement and that no “Intermediary Director” as such term is defined in the Agreement will be appointed.
There are no family relationships between Mr. Ortiz, on the one hand, and any of the officers or directors of the Company, on the other hand.
There are no transactions between Mr. Ortiz, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
