Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; |
On March 11, 2010, the Board of Directors of Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) took action to increase the number of directors on the Company’s Board of Directors from seven to eight. In connection with that action, on March 11, 2010, the Board appointed Peter B. Robinson to serve, effective April 1, 2010, as a new director in the class of directors whose current terms expire in 2011. The Board anticipates naming Mr. Robinson to serve on one or more committees of the Board but at the time of this Form 8-K, the Board has not determined the committee(s) to which he will be named. The Company will file an amendment to this Form 8-K naming those committees once they are determined.
Mr. Robinson currently serves as an Executive Vice President of Burger King Corporation where he is responsible for Burger King’s global marketing and strategy functions. Prior to assuming his current role, Mr. Robinson was an Executive Vice President and President of Burger King’s Europe, Middle East and Africa business segment. Before joining Burger King, Mr. Robinson worked for General Mills, Inc. as President of Pillsbury USA, and Senior Vice President of General Mills Inc. Earlier in his career, Mr. Robinson held positions of increasing responsibility at The Pillsbury Company, PepsiCo, Kraft General Foods, and Procter & Gamble, Ltd. UK. Mr. Robinson holds a B.A. in Economics from Newcastle University.
Mr. Robinson’s compensation will be consistent with the compensation policies applicable to the Company’s other non-employee directors.
