ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

 

Effective March 4, 2019, Mesa Laboratories, Inc.’s (“Mesa Labs”) Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, appointed Jennifer Alltoft (formerly Head of Global Biosimilars at Pfizer, Inc.) to its Board of Directors. Since the beginning of last fiscal year, there have been no related party transactions between Mesa Labs and the newly-appointed director that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Ms. Alltoft will receive compensation as an outside director of Mesa Labs under the standard director compensation policies and programs as adopted by the Board from time to time.

 

On March 4, 2019, Michael Brooks determined that he will retire from the Board of Directors of Mesa Labs effective April 4, 2019. His decision to retire is not related to any disagreement with Mesa Labs or with Mesa Labs’ operations, policies or practices, and he will continue to serve as director through the date of his retirement.

 

As a result of the foregoing changes and the previously-announced departure from the Board of H. Stuart Campbell and nomination of David Perez, the committees of the Board are now as follows:
