Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 1, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Warby Parker Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from nine to ten directors and, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Bradley Singer to fill the newly created vacancy as a Class I director, effective immediately. Mr. Singer will serve until the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or sooner in the event of his death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, or removal. The Board has determined that Mr. Singer meets the requirements for independence under the applicable listing standards and rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company expects that Mr. Singer will be appointed to the Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.
Mr. Singer will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program as described under the “Director Compensation” section in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024. Mr. Singer will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and officers.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Singer and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a member of the Board. There are no family relationships between Mr. Singer and any director, executive officer, or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. Mr. Singer is not a party to any current or proposed transaction with the Company for which disclosure is required under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
