On September 16, 2008, Smart Move,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced that Doug
Kelsall resigned as a member of its Board of Directors and Chair of the
Board’s Audit Committee, and that Jeff McGonegal had accepted appointment
to fill the vacancies created by Mr. Kelsall’s resignation.
Mr. Kelsall, who was elected as a Class II Director at
Smart Moves Annual
Meeting in June 2008 for a term ending at the Annual Meeting in 2011,
previously had notified the Board of significant new demands on his time
associated with his other professional endeavors. The Nominating &
Governance Committee had undertaken to identify qualified potential independent
director candidates having significant financial expertise should the Board
determine to add another independent director to serve on the Audit Committee.
Mr. Kelsall’s written resignation, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1,
was accepted by the Board effective September 15, 2008, concurrently with its determination upon the
recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee to appoint
Mr. Jeff McGonegal as a Class II member of the Board of Directors and
as Chairman of the Audit Committee to fill the vacancy created by Mr.
Kelsall’s resignation. Mr. Kelsall did not resign due to any
disagreements with the Company’s Board of Directors or its management,
but in view of increasing work load and time commitments associated with his
executive responsibilities for ESM, the company by which he is employed as its
President. Mr. Kelsall also confirmed that he had no disagreements with
management or Smart Move’s external auditors over the financial reporting
of the Company and confirmed he would be available to work closely with
Mr. McGonegal in the coming weeks to ensure an efficient
transition of the Audit Committee Chair responsibilities.
Mr. McGonegal, 57, has, since
June 2003, served as the Chief Financial Officer of AspenBio Pharma, Inc.,
(Nasdaq: APPY), a publicly held biotechnology research and development company.
He also serves as Chief Financial Officer and currently as Chief Executive
Officer of Security With Advanced Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWAT), a publicly
held provider of hardware and software security related products.
Mr. McGonegal also serves as Senior Vice President — Finance of
Cambridge Holdings, Ltd., a small publicly held company with limited
activities. Since 1997, Mr. McGonegal has served as Managing Director of
McGonegal and Co., a company engaged in providing accounting and business
consulting services. From 1974 to 1997, Mr. McGonegal was an accountant
with BDO Seidman LLP. While at BDO Seidman LLP, Mr. McGonegal served as
managing partner of the Denver, Colorado office. Mr. McGonegal was elected
in 2005 to serve on the board of Imagenetix, Inc., a publicly held company in
the nutritional supplements industry. He received a B.A. degree in accounting
from Florida State University. Mr. McGonegal is a certified public
accountant licensed in the state of Colorado.
Mr. McGonegal is a shareholder of
the Company who has not entered into any related party transactions with the
Company that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 404(a) of
Regulation S-K, and he has not accepted directly or indirectly, any
consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company, other than the
fees he will receive in the future for services on the Board of Directors and
Committees of the Board of Directors. There were no arrangements or
understandings between Mr. McGonegal and any other person pursuant to
which Mr. McGonegal was selected as a director and appointed to be the
Chair of the Audit Committee nor is there a family relationship between any
director or executive officer and Mr. McGonegal.
The Board of Directors has determined
that Mr. McGonegal is an “independent” director under
applicable SEC and American Stock Exchange rules and is the Audit Committee
Financial Expert. In his role as a Board and Audit Committee member, and as
Chair of the Audit Committee, Mr. McGonegal will be entitled to receive
the same cash compensation for his service as director and committee chair as
is provided under the Company’s compensation plan for non-employee
directors ($22,000 per annum for non-employee directors, paid quarterly at the
beginning of each quarter and the separate cash compensation to the Chair of
the Audit Committee in the amount of $12,000 per year, also paid quarterly at
the beginning of each quarter and proportionately reduced to the extent the
term of service is less than a full 12 months). As a non-employee
director, Mr. McGonegal will also receive a prorated part of the annual
grant of restricted shares made to each of the Company’s non-employee
directors for fiscal 2008, which is stipulated to be a total annual grant value
of $15,000 based upon the per share average closing price of a share of our
common stock on the American Stock Exchange during the month preceding the
stock grant.
