REDWOOD SHORES, CA — (Marketwired) — 06/20/16 — iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), the leading provider of global mobile connectivity, announced the results of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 16, 2016, including naming Michael Tedesco chairman and reporting the new committee composition of the Board of Directors.
All three proposals were approved, including the election of the six nominees for director, the ratification of the independent auditors for 2016, and the advisory vote on executive compensation.
Effective at the close of the Annual Meeting, the Board consists of five independent directors (Michael Chang, David Panos, Damien Park, Justin Spencer and Michael Tedesco) and one management director (Gary Griffiths, President and Chief Executive Officer).
At a meeting immediately following the company–s Annual Meeting, the Board elected Mr. Tedesco as Chairman, replacing Mr. Park, who remains on the Board as a member of the Corporate Governance and the Compensation committees. “The Board would like to thank Damien for serving as Chairman over the last year as iPass has continued to transition toward profitability and growth,” said Mr. Tedesco.
The Board, at the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, reconstituted the committees as follows:
Audit Committee: Mr. Spencer (Chairperson), Mr. Panos, and Mr. Tedesco
Compensation Committee: Mr. Chang (Chairperson), Mr. Park, and Mr. Spencer
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee: Mr. Panos (Chairperson), Mr. Park, and Mr. Chang
In addition, the Board dissolved the Strategy Committee as no responsibilities were considered imminent.
