Item 5.02 Departures of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On February 19, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dynatronics Corporation, a Utah corporation (the “Company”), voted to separate the role of Chairman of the Board from the role of Chief Executive Officer and appointed Ms. Erin Enright as Chairman of the Board. Ms. Enright has been a director of the Company and member of the Board since June 2015. The Board also acted to implement a succession plan for senior management of the Company and appointed a special committee of the Board to commence a search to identify a successor for Mr. Cullimore as the CEO of the Company. The committee members are directors Enright, Scott Klosterman and Brian Larkin. Ms. Enright will chair the committee, which intends to complete its search, if practicable, prior to the end of the Company’s current fiscal year on June 30, 2018. After appointment of a new CEO, it is expected that Mr. Cullimore will continue to serve as a non-employee director and member of the Board.
 
Mr. Cullimore continues as CEO until his successor has been appointed and qualified. He had also previously served as President of the Company. That position will not be filled, due to a recent realignment of the legacy Dynatronics therapy and modality products operations completed earlier in February. The Company announced in a press release on February 21, 2018, that it had formed a new Therapy Products Division operating out of the Company’s Utah and Tennessee facilities, where it will continue to develop, design, manufacture and distribute the innovative modalities and other products that have distinguished the Company in the industry for many years. The Board has appointed Brian D. Baker as President of the division. With this new alignment, the Company is now organized with three operating divisions, the Hausmann, Bird & Cronin, and Therapy Products Divisions, with the Presidents of each Division reporting directly to Mr. Cullimore as the CEO, who now reports to an independent Chairman.
 
In connection with the termination of Mr. Cullimore’s employment upon the naming of a successor CEO (the “Separation Date”), the Company and Mr. Cullimore will enter into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement includes a customary release by Mr. Cullimore of certain claims against the Company that are or may be held by Mr. Cullimore and entitles Mr. Cullimore to (i) a severance payment equal to $200,000, which represents 12 months of Mr. Cullimore’s base salary in effect as of immediately prior to the Separation Date, paid 50% on the 30th day following the Separation Date and 50% in equal installments over the following six months; (ii) payment of additional severance in the total amount of $500,000, payable in quarterly installments over a two-year period following the Separation Date, (iii) full acceleration of vesting of Mr. Cullimore’s previously granted and unvested restricted stock awards totaling 72,000 shares, (iv) earned but unpaid bonuses, if any, with respect to the fiscal year in which termination occurs, (v) transfer to him of the Company vehicle used by him at the Separation Date (or a vehicle of substantially similar market value), and (vi) accrued and unpaid salary through the Separation Date. As a result of Mr. Cullimore’s anticipated departure, the Company expects to record a charge of approximately $900,000, or approximately $.11 per share in the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018, for the future severance payments to be made and related expenses incurred under his Employment Agreement dated May 1, 2015. This includes a non-cash compensation expense of $140,000 in connection with the acceleration of the vesting of the restricted stock awards. The Company will also pay withholding and related employer tax expense of approximately $72,000 in cash during the quarter, which will be settled by withholding shares of stock from the awards having an equivalent value and result in the delivery to Mr. Cullimore of approximately 45,000 net shares of common stock.
 
The foregoing summary of the Separation Agreement is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement that is attached as Exhibit 10.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. You should review the Separation Agreement for a more complete understanding of its terms and conditions.
