On May 2, 2018, Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (the “Company”) closed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and sold 1,430,000 shares of Common Stock to certain purchasers for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million. The Common Stock will commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) on May 4, 2018 under the symbol JRSH.

 

Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 3, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) increased the size of the Board from two to five members in order to comply with the corporate governance provisions of the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board named three directors to fill the newly created vacancies: Gary J. Haseley, Sean Socha, and Mak Chi Yan. The Board determined that each of these new directors is independent under the independence standards of Nasdaq. In addition to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with serving on the Board, the Company will pay each independent director an annual fee of $75,000 in cash or Common Stock at each director’s election. Each of these newly elected directors will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

 

None of Messrs. Haseley, Socha or Mak was appointed pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person. None of Messrs. Haseley, Socha or Mak nor any of their immediate family has been a party to any transaction with the Company, nor is any such transaction currently proposed that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Also on May 3, 2018, the Board established separate standing audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees. Those committees are comprised as follows:
