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

 

On August 18, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Surna, Inc. (the “Company”) amended Article II § 2 of the Company’s bylaws such that the number of directorships may be set by the Board or by an action of the shareholders, and specifying that if not set, the number of directors shall be one (1). Previously, Article II § 2 specified that the number of directors must be not less than one (1) nor more than thirteen (13), but did not specify how that number should be determined. Subsequent to this amendment, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions increasing the number of directorships from two (2) to five (5) and appointing Brandy Keen, Stephen Keen, and Morgan Paxhia to fill the vacant directorships until such time as their successors shall have been elected and qualified.

 

Ms. Keen has served as the Company’s vice president of sales since July 2014. Ms. Keen co-founded Hydro Innovations, LLC in 2007 and served as its director of operations until its acquisition by the Company in July 2014. Mr. Keen has served as the Company’s vice president of research and development since July 2014. Mr. Keen co-founded Hydro Innovations in 2007, and served as its chief executive officer until its acquisition by the Company in July 2014. Mr. Paxhia has served as managing director of Poseidon Asset Management since January 2014. From October 2013 to July 2015, he was the principal and managing director of Paxhia Investment Management. From June 2009 to November 2013, Mr. Paxhia was an investment counselor with a privately owned registered investment adviser. Previously, Mr. Paxhia worked on the municipal bond desk at UBS in New York City before moving into wealth management as a financial advisor associate with UBS.

 

None of the directors have yet been appointed to any committees of the Board, nor are any a party to any agreement regarding their service as directors, although the Company anticipates that the Board shall consider compensation of directors at some point.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

As disclosed above, the Company’s Board amended Article II § 2 of the Company’s bylaws such that the number of directorships may be set by the Board or by an action of the shareholders, and specifying that if not set, the number of directors shall be one (1). Previously, Article II § 2 specified that the number of directors must be between one (1) and thirteen (13) inclusive, but did not specify how that number should be determined. Subsequent to this amendment, the Board adopted resolutions increasing the number of directorships from two (2) to five (5) and appointing Brandy Keen, Stephen Keen, and Morgan Paxhia to fill the vacant directorships until such time as their successors shall have been elected and qualified.
