On March 29, 2021, Daniel Berenbaum notified Everspin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to resign as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Berenbaum’s last day with the Company is expected to be on April 16, 2021. Mr. Berenbaum’s resignation is for personal reasons and is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

In connection with Mr. Berenbaum’s resignation, the Company has appointed Aparna Oka to serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer on an interim basis, effective April 16, 2021, while the Company conducts a search for its next Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Oka currently serves as Corporate Controller of the Company.

Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and her Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Finance from the Brihan Maharashtra College of Commerce in Pune, India. Ms. Oka is also a certified public accountant (USA) and a Chartered Accountant (India).

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Oka and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed to serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.
