His appointment, effective October 1, 2014, will expire at the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, at which time his continued service will be subject to shareholder approval. Mr. McManus was also appointed to serve as a member of the Board's Finance and Audit Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee. Mr. McManus is Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Energen Corporation.
Mr. McManus will receive an annual retainer of $70,000 for his membership on the Board, paid quarterly, prorated to the effective day of his appointment as a director. He will also receive 1,764 restricted share units of Company stock to vest on March 5, 2015, consistent with the vesting of equity grants to the Company's other directors.
