Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On April 4, 2017, the board of directors of lululemon athletica inc. appointed Glenn Murphy as a member of the board of directors. Mr. Murphy will serve as Co-Chairman of the board of directors. Mr. Murphy is the CEO of FIS Holdings, a consumer focused investment firm. Prior to founding FIS Holdings, he served as Chairman and CEO of The Gap, Inc. from 2007 to 2014. Prior to that, Mr. Murphy served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shoppers Drug Mart from 2001 to 2007. He is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario. Our board of directors believes his extensive retail experience as a leading strategic operator will provide valuable insight to our board of directors. Michael Casey, who has held the Co-Chairman role since 2014, will step down as Co-Chairman but will continue as a member of the board of directors.
In connection with Mr. Murphy's appointment, the board of directors increased the size of the board from nine to ten members and Mr. Murphy will serve as a Class I director to fill the newly-created vacancy. Because Mr. Murphy will serve as a member of the class of directors whose terms expire at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders will have the opportunity to vote on his nomination as a continuing Class I director at the meeting on June 8, 2017.
Mr. Murphy will receive compensation for his service as a director consistent with that of our other non-employee directors. A description of our standard compensation arrangements for non-employee directors is included in our proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2016. We expect Mr. Murphy to enter into our standard form indemnification agreement for non-employee directors, the form of which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.16 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated July 9, 2007.
