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

 

On April 12, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CVD Equipment Corporation (the “Company”) elected Dr. Robert M. Brill to serve as a director of the Company, expanding its Board to six directors, effective as of April 16, 2018. Dr. Brill was also elected to serve on the Board’s Nominating, Governance and Compliance Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee.

 

Dr. Brill is co-founder and managing partner of Newlight Management, which manages venture capital funds that focus on early stage technology companies. Prior to co-founding Newlight, Dr. Brill was a general partner of Poly Ventures, a Long Island based venture capital fund. Dr. Brill is a member of the Board of Directors of the L.I. Angel Network, the L.I. High Tech Incubator and several private companies. Dr. Brill has also previously served on the Board of Directors of multiple public and private companies. Dr. Brill served as General Manager of Harris Corporation’s CMOS Semiconductor Division. He also held various technical and management positions at IBM’s semiconductor operation. Dr. Brill holds a Ph.D in nuclear physics from Brown University and a B.A. and a B.S. in Engineering Physics from Lehigh University.

 

There is no arrangement or understanding between Dr. Brill and any other persons pursuant to which Dr. Brill was elected as a director. The Company believes that Dr. Brill is qualified to serve as a director of the Company because of his extensive background and experience serving and advising technology companies.

 

Dr. Brill will receive compensation as a director in accordance with the Company’s Director Compensation Plan applicable to all non-employee directors described in the Company’s 2017 Proxy Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2017.
