ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On December 21, 2020, in order to help achieve certain board refreshment and diversity goals, Steven C. Good resigned as an independent director of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), effective December 31, 2020. At the time of his resignation, Mr. Good served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board and a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Good’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On December 21, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved (i) the accelerated vesting of Mr. Good’s outstanding restricted stock grant of 2,507 shares, which grant was scheduled to vest on the date of the next annual stockholders’ meeting and (ii) a cash payment of $66,737.64, which is equal to Mr. Good’s remaining annual retainer for service as a director, as a member of the Compensation Committee, and as the chairman of the Audit Committee, covering retainers that have already been earned for Q4 2020 and would have been earned for Q1 2021 and 55 days of Q2 2021, for the period of time preceding the estimated date of the next annual stockholders when Mr. Good’s term would have ended.
On December 21, 2020, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, elected Debra L. Morris as a director, effective December 31, 2020.

Additionally, the Board has determined that Ms. Morris qualifies as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to the definition adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board also appointed Ms. Morris to serve on both the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board, and further appointed Tyler H. Rose as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board and Diana J. Ingram as Chairwoman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, to be effective on January 1, 2021.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Morris and any other person pursuant to which she was elected as a director. There are no transactions in which Ms. Morris has an interest requiring disclosure herein under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
