On February 21, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board and appointed William T. “Bill” Bosway as a director effective March 7, 2024. In connection with Mr. Bosway’s election, the Board has appointed Mr. Bosway as a member of each of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee of the Board. The Board determined that Mr. Bosway has no material relationship with the Company and qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the director independence standards of NASDAQ, as well as satisfies the additional director qualifications for members of the Audit Committee as set forth in the applicable NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules. Mr. Bosway will serve until the Company's 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualified.
The election of Mr. Bosway was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Bosway and any third party. As of the date of this report, neither Mr. Bosway, nor any of his immediate family members, is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction that would be required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The Company’s board is now comprised of eight directors, including seven independent directors.
Mr. Bosway will be compensated consistent with the standard compensation program for non-employee directors, which includes a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation, which is described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2023 under the heading “Director Compensation.” In connection with his appointment to the Board, Mr. Bosway will receive a pro-rated award of shares of restricted common stock with a target value of $22,500, with the number of shares determined based on the Company’s closing price on March 7, 2024.
A copy of the Company’s press release issued on February 22, 2024, regarding Mr. Bosway’s election, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
