The common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation (the “Company”) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). On September 21, 2016, the Company filed an interim written affirmation with the NYSE notifying the NYSE that the Company was not in compliance with Sections 303A.01 and 303A.07 of the Listed Company Manual because (i) independent directors did not constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and (ii) the Audit Committee of the Board consisted of only two members. In both cases, the non-compliance was the result of the resignation of Mr. Jonathan Kislak from the Board and all committees thereof, as described below. Mr. Murin, a member of the Board and the Audit Committee, has agreed to act as interim audit committee financial expert. The Board intends to appoint a third independent director with accounting or related financial management expertise to the Board and the Audit Committee as soon as practicable.
| Item 5.02. |
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
|
On September 19, 2016, Mr. Jonathan Kislak, a member of the Board, resigned from the Board and all committees thereof, effective immediately. Mr. Kislak was a member and Chairman of the Audit Committee as well as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
