Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

We previously reported that Matthew C. Flanigan notified the Company of his decision to retire as Executive Vice President and CFO. Although a specific date for Mr. Flanigan’s retirement had not been set, he indicated that he was willing to continue serving as CFO until his successor was hired and through a reasonable transition period.

Also, as previously reported, Mr. Flanigan notified the Company on August 6, 2019, that his retirement date from his executive position of Executive Vice President and CFO would be September 3, 2019. We also reported that Mr. Flanigan will continue with the Company in a non-executive officer position for a period of time that had not yet been determined, in order to provide transition assistance to Mr. Jeffrey L. Tate, the Company’s new CFO.

On September 25, 2019, Mr. Flanigan notified the Company that he will retire from the Company on December 31, 2019.
