Item 5.02

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

On March 25, 2010, solely in order to provide for an equal apportionment of the members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dot Hill Systems Corp. (the “Company”) among the three classes of the Company’s classified Board, Charles F. Christ, age 71, resigned from the Board as a Class I director and, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, was immediately reappointed by the Board as a Class II director. The reallocation of Mr. Christ from one class of directors to another class of directors had no effect on any aspect of his compensatory arrangements with the Company and he continues to serve as the Chairman of the Board and as both a member and the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.
