On January 19, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of NortonLifeLock Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Sherrese M. Smith, 48 and Emily Heath, 46 to serve as members of the Board, effective as of such date.

 

Ms. Smith has served as a corporate partner at Paul Hastings LLP, a global law firm, since 2013, where she is a member of the firm’s media, technology and telecommunications practice and currently serves as Vice-Chair of the firm’s data privacy and cybersecurity practice.  Ms. Smith regularly counsels companies on complex transactional and regulatory issues, including data privacy and cybersecurity and breach response issues across various jurisdictions (including the U.S., the EU and Asia). Prior to joining Paul Hastings, Ms. Smith served as Chief Counsel to Chairman Julius Genachowski at the Federal Communications Commission from 2009 to 2013, before which she was Vice President and General Counsel of Washington Post Digital, and served in other leadership positions from 2002 to 2009. Ms. Smith also currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Cable One, Inc., a broadband communications provider. Ms. Smith holds a bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of South Carolina and a Juris Doctor from the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.

 

Ms. Heath has served as Senior Vice President, Chief Trust and Security Officer at DocuSign, Inc., a leading e-signature and Agreement Cloud company, since October 2019. Prior to that, Ms. Heath served as Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer at United Airlines, Inc. from February 2017 through October 2019. Before joining United Airlines, Ms. Heath held numerous positions at AECOM, an infrastructure consulting firm, from 2013 through 2017, most recently as its Vice President, Chief information Security Officer. Ms. Heath is a former Detective with the British Police where she led investigations into large scale investment frauds, identity theft and money laundering cases working with London’s Serious Fraud Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ms. Heath currently serves on the Board of Directors of LogicGate, Inc., a private cloud-based governance, risk and compliance management company. She was educated in the United Kingdom and is trained in multiple areas of investigations, risk and security.

 

Ms. Smith and Ms. Heath will both receive a pro-rated portion of the annual cash and equity retainer that is part of the standard compensation received by the Company’s non-employee directors for service on the Board and its committees. In addition, Ms. Smith and Ms. Heath will both enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides for indemnification of directors to the fullest extent allowed by Delaware law.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Smith or Ms. Heath and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected as directors. Neither Ms. Smith nor Ms. Heath has family relationships with any of the Company’s directors or executive officers and neither has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

On January 19, 2021, in connection with appointments of Ms. Smith and Ms. Heath to the Board, David Humphrey, a member of the Board since 2016, resigned from the Board, effective as of such date.
