The information furnished under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated by specific reference in any such filing.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 5, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, increased the size of the Board to nine directors and appointed Sharon Binger as a Class I director of the Board, effective August 6, 2026, to serve until the Company’s 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until the election and qualification of her successor or earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Additionally, the Board appointed Ms. Binger as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, effective upon becoming a director, in substitution for Joseph Osnoss who remains as Chairman of the Board.
The Board has determined that Ms. Binger qualifies as an independent director for service on the Board, under the Nasdaq listing standards and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Ms. Binger, a current Silver Lake employee, was designated and appointed to the Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the request of Silver Lake, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2024, by and among the Company, SLP Fastball Aggregator, L.P. and certain stockholders of the Company party thereto and in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Silver Lake Transferee Group (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement).
There are no transactions between Ms. Binger and the Company required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with Ms. Binger’s appointment, the Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Binger in substantially the same form of agreement that the Company has executed with its other directors and executive officers.
