A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report. The information in this Report under this item, including the exhibit, is provided under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Election of New Director

On May 11, 2022, Bowman announced that, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective as of May 11, 2022, increased its size from six to seven directors and elected Mr. Raymond Vicks, Jr. to serve as a Class III director whose term will expire at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board determined to appoint Mr. Vicks to the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective upon the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (the “ Form 10-Q”).

The Board determined that Mr. Vicks is independent under Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) rules and satisfies the additional independence criteria for members of the audit committee under applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Nasdaq. The Board also determined that Mr. Vicks qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Vicks and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Company, and there is no family relationship between Mr. Vicks and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers. The Company is not aware of any transaction involving Mr. Vicks requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Vicks, age 62, previously served as managing partner at The BMV Group, a position he held from August 2017 until his retirement in 2019. Mr. Vicks also served as senior vice president and chief financial officer of The HSC Health Care System from 2015 to 2019. Prior to that, Mr. Vicks served in roles of increasing responsibility at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP from 1995 to 2014, including sixteen years as a partner. Mr. Vicks is a certified public accountant and received his B.S. in Accounting from Virginia Tech and his M.P.H. from the George Washington University. He currently serves as a director of Tenable Holdings, Inc. In December 2021, Mr. Vicks was appointed to serve a five-year term as a member of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board beginning July 1, 2022.

Upon commencement of his service as a director on May 11, 2022, the Board granted Mr. Vicks a one-time initial stock award of 4,454 shares of restricted stock valued at $75,000, which shares vest one year from the grant date subject to Mr. Vicks’ continued service as a director. Mr. Vicks will receive the same fees, which consist of stock and cash, for his service as a director and committee member as the Company’s other non-employee directors, which fees were disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

Mr. Vicks has also entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement.

Resignation of Director

On May 11, 2022, Mr. Dan Lefaivre notified the Board of his resignation from the Board, the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q. Mr. Lefaivre’s decision to leave the Board was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and Mr. Lefaivre on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

The Board also determined that effective as of Mr. Lefaivre’s retirement, Mr. Vicks shall be appointed as chair of the Audit Committee and that the size of the Board shall be decreased from seven to six directors.

On May 12, 2022, the Company issued a press release relating to the appointment of Mr. Vicks to the Board. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Bowman Consulting Group Announces Record First Quarter Results and Increases 2022 Outlook

Reston, Va., May 11, 2022 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today announced record revenue and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

“We are starting the year strong with a terrific first quarter”, said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “It was a busy three months and things are not slowing down. During the quarter we acquired Perry Engineering, raised $17 million of additional equity for growth, continued the process of integrating our acquisitions from last year and delivered record net service revenue that exceeded estimates. At the same time, we grew backlog and increased our full year outlook. Last week we announced the acquisition of McMahon Associates, our largest to date, demonstrating our continuing commitment to strategic diversification. We remain steadfast in our approach to disciplined growth and increasing shareholder value.”

Financial Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to March 31, 2021:

 

   

Gross revenue of $52.5 million, compared to $31.8 million, a 65% increase

Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

The Company is increasing its full year 2022 outlook for Net Service Billing to be in the range of $185 to $200 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $25 to $29 million. This presents an increase from the previous guidance of $170 to $185 million of Net Service Billing and $23 to $27 million of Adjusted EBITDA.

Bowman Consulting Group Announces Addition of Ray Vicks to Board of Directors

Reston, Va., May 12, 2022 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today announced it increased the size of its board of directors and appointed Ray Vicks as an independent director, effective May 11, 2022.

“Ray is a seasoned executive and financial expert with more than forty years of experience working with companies like Bowman”, said Gary Bowman, Chair and CEO of Bowman. “Ray’s voice will no doubt be a valuable addition to the governance and oversight of the company. As we continue to execute on our strategic growth plan, I am confident that Ray’s insights and knowledge will positively impact our success. I am thrilled to be welcoming Ray on behalf of everyone at Bowman.”

Vicks spent more than 33 years in public accounting, including sixteen years as a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), where he focused on the external audit and advisory risk management practice areas. Vicks is a qualified financial expert and CPA with broad experience in multiple industries. He served as senior vice president and chief financial officer for the HSC Healthcare System, a Washington, D.C.-based integrated healthcare organization. He currently serves on the boards of directors and audit committees of Tenable, a Nasdaq-listed cyber exposure company (TENB) and Access Clinical Partners, LLC. In December 2021, Vicks was appointed to serve a five-year term as a member of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board beginning July 1, 2022. Prior to these appointments, Vicks served on the boards of directors of multiple organizations, including CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, where he was chairman of the audit and compliance committee and member of the finance and executive committees; National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Capital Area Chapter, where he served as treasurer; and Take Stock in Children Manatee, where he served as treasurer. Vicks earned a bachelor’s in accounting from Virginia Tech.

“I’m excited to be joining this board and to be working with such a dynamic, growth-oriented executive management team,” said Vicks. “The amount of investment that will be going into infrastructure over the next few years positions Bowman to be very successful in executing its strategic initiatives with respect to growth. I look forward to helping the company realize its goals and deliver increasing value to the shareholders.”

The board accepted the resignation of Dan Lefaivre as a director effective immediately after the filing of the Company’s 10-Q. Mr. Vicks will assume the role of Chair of the board’s audit committee and will become a member of the board’s nominating and governance committee.
