(NASDAQ: SAIA) and on Texas Pacific Land Trust (NYSE: TPL). As a result, Ms. Epps possesses particular knowledge and experience that strengthens the Board’s collective qualifications, skills and experience.
Ms. Epps will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s previously adopted non-employee director compensation schedule. In connection with her appointment, the Compensation Committee granted Ms. Epps 500 restricted stock units, all of which will vest on January 8, 2022, provided she continues to serve on such date.
