On
March 23, 2020, Kenneth R. Marks was elected to our Board of Directors.
Mr.
Marks, age 74, is currently the President of KRM Energy Advisors LLC, which focuses on providing strategic and financing
advice in the energy sector. Mr. Marks was previously Managing Director and Head of Power, Utilities and Renewables for the Americas
for HSBC from 2011 to 2016 in which he was responsible for leading the bank’s investment banking and commercial banking
services for clients in the sector in North and South America, including the provision of strategic advice, financing and other
bank products.
Prior
to HSBC, Mr. Marks worked for Morgan Stanley as an investment banker for 33 years in increasingly senior roles, including as Managing
Director in the Global Power and Utility Group. In this role, Mr. Marks provided the full range of Morgan Stanley’s banking
products to clients in the sector, including strategic advice, debt and equity financing, and derivatives/hedging. Mr. Marks’
experience at Morgan Stanley also included participation in specialized groups at the investment bank focusing on mergers and
acquisitions, financial restructuring, project financing, valuations and corporate finance. Throughout his tenure at Morgan Stanley,
Mr. Marks was based in the United States, except for three years when he was based in Hong Kong as Head of M&A and Project
Finance for the region.
Mr.
Marks is a member of the Board of Directors of the Coalition for Green Capital, a non-profit entity whose mission is to foster
development of clean energy and energy efficiency, and Chairman of its Audit Committee. Mr. Marks received a B.S. degree in electrical
engineering from Bucknell University, an M.B.A. in industrial management from the Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania,
and a Ph.D. in finance from New York University. For a number of years, Mr. Marks served on the faculty at NYU teaching courses
in its M.B.A. program and has published articles in numerous journals including Public Utilities Fortnightly, Energy Biz and Harvard
Business Review.
Mr.
Marks’ experience in the power, utility and renewable area and his leadership positions at a leading global investment bank,
one of the largest global commercial banks and at a non-profit entity applicable to the sector makes his input invaluable to our
Board’s discussions of the EV charging and alternative energy markets. He also brings transactional expertise in
mergers and acquisitions and capital markets.
During
the last two years, there have been no transactions or proposed transactions by us in which Mr. Marks has had or is to have a
direct or indirect material interest, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Marks and any of our executive officers
or other directors.
Our
Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Marks is “independent,” as independence is defined in the listing rules
for the Nasdaq Stock Market.
With
Mr. Marks, our Board of Directors currently consists of six members.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
