(d) Appointment of New Director
Effective on November 10, 2022, the Board of Directors of Kidpik Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), increased the number of members of the Board of Directors from three to four, and appointed Ms. Jill Kronenberg as a member of the Board of Directors to fill the newly created vacancy, each pursuant to the powers provided to the Board of Directors by the Company’s Bylaws. Ms. Kronenberg was appointed as a Class II director. As a Class II director, Ms. Kronenberg is expected to stand for election by the Company’s stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Board of Directors determined that Ms. Kronenberg was “independent” pursuant to the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market and pursuant to Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Ms. Kronenberg is not party to any material plan, contract or arrangement (whether or not written) with the Company and there are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Kronenberg and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Kronenberg was selected to serve as a director of the Company, nor is Ms. Kronenberg a participant in any related party transaction required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The Company also entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Ms. Kronenberg. The Indemnification Agreement provides for indemnification of, and advancement of litigation and other expenses to, Ms. Kronenberg to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims relating to her service to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the form of Indemnification Agreement incorporated by reference hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Indemnification Agreement is identical in all material respects to the indemnification agreements entered into with other Company directors.
There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer of the Company, including Ms. Kronenberg.
Ms. Kronenberg was appointed as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee upon her appointment to the Board of Directors, and as a result, the Company now has an Audit Committee consisting of three independent directors.
The Company has no formal director compensation policy; however, it is expected that Ms. Kronenberg will receive equity consideration for her services on the Board of Directors, issuable in the discretion of the Board of Directors, provided that the Company has no current plans to award any equity compensation to Ms. Kronenberg.
