Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 30, 2020 Mr. Arlen B. Crouch notified the Chairman of the Board of the Directors (the “Board”) of Profire Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to resign, effective August 3, 2020, from his position as a member of the Board. Mr. Crouch’s resignation did not result from any disagreements with Management or the Board.

On July 30, 2020, the Board appointed Colleen L. Bell to serve as a director to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Crouch’s resignation, effective August 3, 2020.

Ms. Bell joins the Board with 30 years of experience in the natural gas and energy industry as a legal professional, in which she has held various executive roles. Ms. Bell served as Vice President and General Manager of Dominion Energy Western Distribution, Gas Infrastructure Group from 2016 to 2019. Prior to her time at Dominion Energy, Ms. Bell served as the Vice President and General Counsel for Questar Corporation.

Ms. Bell will serve as Chair of the Nominating Committee and will serve on the Audit and Compensation Committees. As compensation for her service on the Board and Committee Assignments, it is anticipated that Ms. Bell will receive the Company’s standard compensation for non-employee directors. There are no understandings or arrangements between Ms. Bell and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director. The Board considered the independence of Ms. Bell under the Nasdaq listing standards and concluded that she is independent under the applicable Nasdaq standards.
