On February 25, 2021, Jacques Donavon (“Don”) Butler accepted appointment by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Rexnord Corporation (the “Company”) to become a director of the Company, effective immediately. The Board increased its size to 11 directors in connection with the appointment of Mr. Butler.
The Board determined that Mr. Butler will be an “independent” director under New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Mr. Butler will serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and has been designated a director in the class whose terms will expire at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.
Mr. Butler, age 57, retired as Executive Director, Connected Vehicles of Ford Motor Company, a designer, manufacturer and servicer of vehicles, in 2020 after serving in such role since 2014. Prior to joining Ford, Mr. Butler held various leadership positions with increasing responsibility at General Motors Company, a designer and manufacturer of vehicles, including Vice President, Marketing and Global Strategy, Cadillac, Chairman and Managing Director, General Motors Egypt and Vice President, OnStar, from 1981 to 2013. Mr. Butler earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from General Motors Institute (now Kettering University).
The Board appointed Mr. Butler as a director due to his extensive engineering, marketing, product development and information technology experience, including connected products, and leadership experience at large organizations.
Mr. Butler will participate in the Company’s outside director compensation program. Upon appointment to the Board, Mr. Butler received a grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) valued at approximately $130,000.
