Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX), the world’s
largest regional theme park company and the largest operator of
waterparks in North America, today announced that its Board of
Directors (the “Board”) has nominated Denise M. Clark as an
independent director to join the Board at its upcoming annual
meeting of stockholders. The Board anticipates appointing Ms. Clark
to its Audit Committee and its Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee upon her election.
As previously announced, Kurt Cellar and Nancy Krejsa have
decided to retire from the Board at the end of their current terms
and will not stand for re-election at the company’s 2021 annual
meeting of stockholders. Upon conclusion of the annual meeting, the
board anticipates that it will consist of seven members.
“We would like to thank Kurt and Nancy for the significant
contributions they have made during their more than ten years of
dedicated service to Six Flags,” said Selim Bassoul, Non-Executive
Chairman of the Board. “The company has undergone a significant
transformation during Kurt’s board tenure, and benefited greatly
from his thoughtful guidance and leadership. The company has also
significantly benefited from Nancy’s expertise and insights during
her four years on the Board and the seven previous years she spent
as a senior executive with Six Flags, where she was actively
involved in re-establishing the company’s strategy, mission,
vision, and values.”
“We would also like to welcome Denise to the Six Flags family,“
said Bassoul. “Denise’s nomination comes at an important time for
Six Flags. Her extensive background in information technology and
business transformation will provide the Board and the company
valuable insight and guidance as we execute our transformation
agenda and strategic imperatives, and her current and prior board
experience lends beneficial corporate governance expertise.”
“I am pleased with the opportunity to join Six Flags’ Board of
Directors,” said Clark. “Six Flags has a rich history and an
exciting vision to modernize the guest experience and operate as a
more efficient company, enabled by technology. I welcome the
opportunity to be a part of this next chapter.”
