As previously announced, David Sandberg informed our board of directors of his resignation as a board member of Asure Software, Inc. (the “Company”) effective August 10, 2020. His decision to resign was not due to any disagreement on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Mr. Sandberg served on the Company’s Compensation Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee and Audit Committee and was also Chairman of the Board.

Effective August 11, 2020, our board of directors appointed Patrick Goepel as Chairman of the Board and Daniel Gill as the Lead Independent Director. The Company promoted Eyal Goldstein to President. Mr. Goepel will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Goldstein will continue to serve as Chief Revenue Officer. There were no changes to Mr. Goepel’s or Mr. Goldstein’s compensation in connection with their new roles. Biographical information with respect to Patrick Goepel and Daniel Gill is set forth on the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2020.

Mr. Goldstein, 45, joined the Company as Chief Revenue Officer in December 2016.

Also, effective August 11, 2020, our board of directors increased the size of the Board from seven to eight. To fill the vacancies created by the resignation of Mr. Sandberg and the increase in the size of the board of directors, our board of directors elected Benjamin Allen and Grace Lee to serve as directors until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until each of their successors is duly elected and qualified.
