On December 7, 2018 JANA agreed to the inclusion of these three directors on the slate for the 2019 Annual Meeting and therefore the Standstill Period (as defined in the Agreement) will be extended, on and subject to the terms set forth in the Agreement, to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Company’s advance notice period for the nomination of directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The remainder of the slate will be announced in the ordinary course in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting. In the interim, the Company’s board of directors is working with a leading search firm to identify additional qualified director candidates.
The Agreement is described in Item 1.01 of, and a complete copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.37 to, the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2017.
