Item 5.02(d). Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 1, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of AerSale Corporation (the "Company"), upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, increased the size of the Board from nine to ten directors by appointing Judith Fedder, Lieutenant General, USAF Retired, to serve as an independent member of the Board until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board anticipates that General Fedder will be nominated by the Board for election by the stockholders at that meeting and going forward.
Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board appointed General Fedder to serve on the Compensation Committee. There are no arrangements or understanding that exist between General Fedder and any other persons pursuant to which she was selected as a director. In addition, there are no transactions between General Fedder and the Company that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
General Fedder will receive the same cash and equity compensation as the other non-employee directors serving on the Board pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, General Fedder will be entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000, paid quarterly. In addition, General Fedder will be entitled to receive an annual grant of restricted stock units, that has an aggregate value equal to $60,000 (based on the reported closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the grant date), but which will be pro-rated for that portion of fiscal year 2022 in which she will serve on the Board. The restricted stock units will generally vest on the first anniversary from the grant date and convert into one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit, subject to her continued service through the applicable vesting date.
A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of General Judy Fedder as a director is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
