Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On July 18, 2007, Harry Weller notified Vonage Holdings Corp. (the Company) that he was resigning from the Board of Directors of the Company, effective as of July 18, 2007. Mr. Wellers decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company.
On July 19, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors elected Michael A. Krupka to serve as a member of the Companys Board of Directors, effective July 19, 2007 to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Wellers departure. Mr. Krupka was also elected to serve as chair of the Companys Nominating and Governance Committee, effective July 19, 2007.
Mr. Krupka will participate in the Companys standard director compensation arrangements applicable to directors who are not employees of the Company described in the Companys Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2007. In accordance with our director compensation program, Mr. Krupka received an option to purchase 45,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.78, the closing price of our common stock on July 19, 2007. The stock option vests over a period of four years, vesting as to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining underlying shares in equal quarterly installments thereafter.
In April 2005, the Company and the holders of all of the Companys formerly outstanding series of its convertible preferred stock entered into a third amended and restated investors rights agreement. Holders of the Companys formerly outstanding series of its convertible preferred stock include funds managed by affiliates of Bain Capital, LLC, which together hold more than 5% of the Companys voting capital stock. Mr. Krupka is a managing member and a Managing Director of Bain Capital Venture Investors, LLC, an entity associated with Bain Capital, LLC.
Under the agreement, as amended in November 2006, if requested by the former holders of the Companys Series B, C, D or E convertible preferred stock, we will effect, subject to certain terms and conditions, a registration statement on Form S-3, if it is available, to facilitate the sale and distribution of the shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series B, C, D and E convertible preferred stock. Further, these holders have the right to demand of the Company, subject to certain terms and conditions, that we register the shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of their shares of convertible preferred stock after April 1, 2007, under the Securities Act of 1933. Finally, if we propose to register any capital stock of the Company under the Securities Act, the holders of all series of the Companys convertible preferred stock will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.
A copy of the press release announcing the election of Mr. Krupka and departure of Mr. Weller is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
