On May 11, 2020, as part of our efforts to further mitigate the ongoing financial impacts of COVID-19 on our GES business, among other things, we eliminated Mr. Jay Altizer’s position as President of GES. Our President and CEO, Mr. Steven W. Moster, will assume that role. We are currently discussing a severance agreement, which will be disclosed in an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K, if and when agreed upon and executed.
