(d) Election of New Director

On August 30, 2021, Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Timothy J. Whall to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) effective as of August 30, 2021. Mr. Whall will serve for the term expiring at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. As of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Board has not determined the committee assignments for Mr. Whall. The Company will provide the foregoing information by filing an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K after the information is determined or becomes available.

Mr. Whall, 59, served as the Chief Executive Officer of ADT Inc. (“ADT”) from May 2016 until his retirement in November 2018, the President of ADT from May 2016 until September 2017 and as a member of the board of directors of ADT from May 2016 until October 2019. He was also President of Prime Borrower from July 2015 to March 2018. Previously, Mr. Whall served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of Protection One, Inc. from June 2010 to March 2017. Mr. Whall joined SecurityLink in 1990 as a Service Manager. He served as a General Manager before joining the senior management team in various capacities and ultimately became President and Chief Operating Officer. After SecurityLink was acquired by GTCR in 2000, Mr. Whall continued to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer. Following SecurityLink’s sale to Tyco in 2001, Mr. Whall was ADT’s Senior Vice President of Business Operations from 2001 to 2004. In 2004, Mr. Whall partnered with GTCR to acquire Honeywell’s Security Monitoring division (“HSM”). At HSM he served as President and Chief Operating Officer. Following the sale of HSM to Stanley Black & Decker, Mr. Whall served as Chief Operating Officer of StanleyWorks’ Convergent Security Solutions division for one year. In 2008, he left Stanley to pursue opportunities with GTCR. That partnership led to GTCR’s acquisition of the Protection One business in June 2010.

Mr. Whall will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s standard compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 29, 2021.

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Whall and the Company will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnity agreement, the form of which was previously filed with the Commission as Exhibit 10.9 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on June 11, 2015.

Mr. Whall was not selected as a director pursuant to any arrangements or understandings with the Company or with any other person, and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Whall that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
