Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 8, 2017, Joseph B. Armes, non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Capital Southwest Corporation (the “Company”), informed the Board of Directors of his decision not to stand for re-election as a director at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is expected to be held on August 2, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Armes’ decision was made so that he may devote his efforts to his other commitments and is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Armes will leave the Board of Directors effective upon the expiration of his term at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors plans to appoint David R. Brooks, a current Board member, to succeed Mr. Armes as non-executive Chairman, effective upon Mr. Armes’ departure and contingent on Mr. Brooks’ re-election as a director by shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Effective as of the Annual Meeting, the size of the Board is expected to be reduced from seven to six members. A copy of the Company’s news release announcing the changes to the Board of Directors is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
