TTM Technologies, Inc. (the “TTM”) announced today that Ronald W. Iverson will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s mandatory retirement policy which requires Directors to retire at the age of 75.

Due to the vacancy resulting from Mr. Iverson’s mandatory retirement, the Board determined, subject to approval from the United States Defense Security Service, to nominate Mr. Rex D. Geveden as a Class III director for election at the Company’s upcoming Stockholder’s Meeting on May 9, 2018 with a term expiring in 2021.

There was no arrangement or understanding pursuant to which Mr. Geveden was nominated as a director, and since the beginning of our last fiscal year there have been no related party transactions between Mr. Geveden and our company.

Mr. Geveden will be entitled to receive the same compensation for service as a director as is provided to other non-employee directors of the Company. Upon his election, if confirmed by the Company’s stockholders, Mr. Geveden will be issued 20,000 stock options with the strike price of the closing price of TTMI shares as of May 9, 2018.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Geveden will be an independent director under SEC and NASDAQ rules.

Mr. Geveden currently serves as president and chief executive officer since January 1, 2017 and as chief operating officer from October 2015 until December 2016 of BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT), a $1.6 billion nuclear industrial conglomerate headquartered in Lynchburg, VA. Previously, Mr. Geveden was executive vice president at Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a provider of electronic subsystems and instrumentation for aerospace, defense and other uses. There he led two of Teledyne’s four operating segments since 2013, and concurrently served as President of Teledyne DALSA, Inc., a Teledyne subsidiary, since 2014. Mr. Geveden also served as president and chief executive officer of Teledyne Scientific and Imaging, LLC from 2011 to 2013 and President of both Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. and Teledyne’s Engineered Systems Segment from 2007 to 2011. Mr. Geveden is a former Associate Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), where he was responsible for all technical operations within the agency’s $16 billion portfolio and served in various other positions with NASA in a career spanning 17 years. Mr. Geveden holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in physics from Murray State University.

On February 20, 2018, we issued a press release announcing the retirement of Mr. Iverson and the nomination of Mr. Geveden. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.02.
