On August 12, 2024, Mary Gustanski resigned from her position as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Amprius Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and from all of its committees and advisory councils, which resignation was effective on that date. Ms. Gustanski's resignation was not the result of any disagreement between her and the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
On August 13, 2024, the Board elected Livingston “Tony” Satterthwaite to serve as a Class II director to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Gustanski's resignation. The term for Class II directors will expire at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Satterthwaite has also been appointed to serve on the Board’s Compensation Committee. Mr. Satterthwaite has served on the Company’s Advisory Council since September 2023.
The Board has determined that Mr. Satterthwaite is independent and meets the applicable independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. There have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, and there are no currently proposed transactions, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and in which Mr. Satterthwaite or any member of his immediate family had or will have any material interest that are required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The selection of Mr. Satterthwaite was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person.
Mr. Satterthwaite will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy for its outside directors as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 25, 2024. Mr. Satterthwaite has also entered into the Company’s form of indemnification agreement, which, among other things, requires the Company to indemnify Mr. Satterthwaite for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by him in any action or proceeding arising out of his services as one of a member of the Board or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which he provides services at the Company’s request.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of indemnification agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.12 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference.
