Also, on August 16, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the size of the Board of Directors to seven members and elected Barbara Levy to fill the newly created position and serve as a Class II director.  Ms. Levy previously served in senior merchandising positions with Macy’s, Inc. and Ross Stores, Inc. and as a consultant with ideeli, Inc.

 

Ms. Levy is an independent director, as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards and in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and will serve on the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees of the Board of Directors.  Ms. Levy will receive the same compensation as the other non-management directors receive, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 19, 2016.
