Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


On April 30, 2019, we entered into an amendment to our employment agreement with Keith Valentine, our chief executive officer. In addition to making clarifying changes to certain terms of the employment agreement, the amendment extends Mr. Valentine’s employment with us through the date his employment is terminated. Absent the amendment, his employment with us under the employment agreement would have terminated on May 1, 2019. Mr. Valentine’s employment with us remains “at-will” and may be terminated by either us or Mr. Valentine, with or without cause. A description of the terms of Mr. Valentine’s employment agreement is in our proxy statement dated April 17, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2019.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the amendment to Mr. Valentine’s employment agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report.
