Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective June 5, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the “Registrant”) appointed Duane Miller as a director of the Registrant, expanding the Board to seven directors.
Mr. Miller, 60, retired from General Motors Corporation in April 2008 after 37 years of service. At the time of his retirement, Mr. Miller served as executive director, GM Service and Parts Operations (“SPO”) Field Operations where he was responsible for all SPO field activities, running GM Parts (original equipment), ACDelco (aftermarket) and GM Accessories business channels, as well as SPO’s Global Independent Aftermarket.
At this time, the Board has not named Mr. Miller to any committees of the Board, and currently does not expect to name Mr. Miller to any committees of the Board.
Pursuant to the terms of the Registrant’s 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, Mr. Miller was granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.27 upon his appointment to the Board on June 5, 2008. One-third of the option is immediately exercisable, one-third of the option becomes exercisable on June 5, 2009 and one-third of the option becomes exercisable on June 5, 2010, assuming that Mr. Miller remains a member of the Board on such anniversary dates. Mr. Miller will also receive fees consistent with those fees received by the existing non-employee directors for his service as a director of the Registrant.
A copy of the Registrant’s press release announcing Mr. Miller’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
