Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers
On January 27, 2014, the board of directors of CDW Corporation (the “Company”) expanded the size of the Company’s board of directors from nine to ten members and appointed David W. Nelms as a Class I director. As a Class I director, Mr. Nelms will stand for re-election when his initial term expires at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on May 22, 2014. The Company’s board of directors appointed Mr. Nelms to serve on the nominating and corporate governance committee and expects to appoint Mr. Nelms to serve on the audit committee later this year.
Consistent with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, Mr. Nelms will receive an annual cash retainer of $75,000 paid quarterly in arrears (prorated for calendar year 2014) and an annual equity grant of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $125,000 subject to a one-year time-based vesting schedule. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Nelms and the Company will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement, the form of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.32 with the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 filed on June 14, 2013 (Reg. No. 333-187472).
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Nelms and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Nelms was appointed as a director, and there are no transactions between Mr. Nelms and the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Nelms is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
