Change in Directors or Principal Officers
At a meeting (the "Board Meeting") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of
Kensey Nash Corporation (the "Company") on November 2, 2009, upon the
recommendation of the Company's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
(the "Nominating Committee"), the Board approved, effective immediately prior to
the election of directors at the Company's 2009 annual meeting of stockholders
(the "Annual Meeting"), which is scheduled to be held on December 9, 2009, the
reassignment of Walter R. Maupay, Jr. and Harold N. Chefitz to classes of the
Board different from their current classes (the "Reassignment"). Specifically:
(1) Mr. Maupay, who currently serves as a member of the class of directors with
a term expiring at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, is being moved into
the class of directors being elected at the Annual Meeting; and (2) Mr. Chefitz,
whose term expires at the Annual Meeting, is being appointed to fill a vacancy
in the class of directors with a term expiring at the 2010 annual meeting of
stockholders. In connection with the Reassignment, the Nominating Committee
considered the current composition of the Board, the skills, experience and
other qualifications of the Company's current directors and the interplay of
each director's expertise and experience in light of the expertise and
experience of the other members of the Board.
In connection with the Committee's recommendation, and for the sole purpose of effectuating the Reassignment, Mr. Maupay delivered his resignation from the Board, effective immediately prior to the election of directors at the 2009 Annual Meeting. At the Board Meeting, the Board nominated Mr. Maupay for re-election at the Annual Meeting, to serve for a term of office expiring at the Company's 2012 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or upon his earlier resignation or removal. Accordingly, given that Mr. Maupay's resignation from the Board is effective immediately prior to the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and that Mr. Maupay is expected to be re-elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting, the Company expects that Mr. Maupay's service on the Board will continue uninterrupted.
Further, to effect the Reassignment, Mr. Chefitz, rather than being nominated for re-election at the Annual Meeting, was appointed to fill a vacancy in the class of directors with a term of office expiring at the Company's 2010 annual meeting of stockholders, effective at the time of the Annual Meeting. Currently Mr. Chefitz serves, and after giving effect to the Reassignment is expected to continue to serve, as a member of each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board.
Additionally, Mr. Steven J. Lee, currently a member of the Board and each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board, has decided to retire from the Board at the end of his current term, which expires at the Annual Meeting. As a result, Mr. Lee requested that he not be nominated for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Lee will continue to serve as a member of the Board and each of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee until the Annual Meeting. Mr. Lee's decision to retire from the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
In connection with Mr. Lee's service on the Board, Mr. Lee was issued 6,490 shares of restricted common stock of the Company issued by the Company to Mr. Lee on December 10, 2008, 2,164 shares of which would have vested on December 10, 2009, one day following the date of the Annual Meeting. In connection with Mr. Lee's retirement from the Board, given that Mr. Lee will have served on the Board for his full term, including the entire period from the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders until the Annual Meeting, the Board determined that it is appropriate to vest these 2,164 shares of restricted common stock that would have vested one day following the Annual Meeting, and therefore these shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture. The remaining unvested shares of restricted stock of the Company previously issued by the Company to Mr. Lee will be forfeited back to the Company and will be cancelled. In addition, the Board agreed that all of the vested stock options held by Mr. Lee as of the date of the Annual Meeting will remain exercisable for a period of one-year following the date of the Annual Meeting.
