Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing R
Upon the appointment of Larry C. Buckelew as Chairman of our Board of Directors
and our interim Chief Executive Officer of Alliance HealthCare Services, which
was effective on June 1, 2012 (as discussed further below), Mr. Buckelew no
longer satisfied the independence rules under the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") and resigned from both the Audit and Compensation Committees of our
Board of Directors. Following his resignation, the Audit Committee consists of
only two members, and, consequently, the Company is not in compliance with
Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
Section 303A.07(a) requires all publicly traded companies to have at least three independent directors serving on the Audit Committee. On June 1, 2012, we notified the NYSE that, as of the effective date of Mr. Buckelew's appointment, the Audit Committee is no longer comprised of three independent members. On June 4, 2012, the NYSE provided written notice to us that we are deficient in meeting the requirements of Section 303A.07(a).
Our Board of Directors is in the process of identifying a candidate to replace Mr. Buckelew as an independent director and a member of the Audit Committee and is considering engaging a search firm to assist in this process. The Company anticipates that it will be able to regain compliance with Section 303A.07(a) within the time allotted by the NYSE.
Effective June 1, 2012, Richard A. Jones was appointed as President of the Imaging Division of Alliance HealthCare Services. This appointment included a corresponding increase in annual base salary to $300,000. Mr. Jones has been with Alliance since December 23, 1996, serving as Regional Vice President of the Northeast region from December 2003 to October 2008, then as Senior Vice President of the Northeast region from October 2008 to August 2011 and since August 2011 as Executive Vice President of the Imaging Division.
As previously reported on April 28, 2012, Larry C. Buckelew was appointed as Chairman of our Board of Directors and our interim Chief Executive Officer to immediately succeed Paul S. Viviano. Mr. Buckelew's appointment was effective on June 1, 2012. Mr. Buckelew will be paid an annual salary of $1,400,000 for his services as interim Chief Executive Officer, and will not be eligible for a separate bonus. Mr. Buckelew was granted an option to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock. Half of the shares subject to the option will vest after six months of employment, and the remainder will vest after twelve months of employment. In addition, the option will fully vest upon the appointment of a subsequent Chief Executive Officer. In the event Mr. Buckelew continues as Chairman of our Board of Directors following the appointment of a subsequent Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Buckelew will receive a retainer thereafter in addition to the retainer he would otherwise receive as a Board member for the time during which he remains Chairman. The combined amount of these retainers will be $335,000 per year during the first twenty-four months following the date on which a subsequent Chief Executive Officer is appointed, to be paid $197,500 in cash and $137,500 in restricted stock units, and $265,000 per year thereafter, paid $162,500 in cash and $102,500 in restricted stock units.
