The board named Frank Martell Lead Independent Director and Steven Sordello chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and appointed technology executive Sissie L. Hsiao to fill the vacancy, adding her to the Compensation Committee. The filing contains no financial results, so the changes are governance updates rather than a direct financial event.
