• Corporate governance and plans: upon effectiveness of the IPO the Board appointed seven directors (Brian Morrison, Matthew Alty, Brian Raduenz, Stephen Twitty, Jonathan Rambeau, Tanner Cope and Jake Lansford); David Stinnett was named Chairman and Matthew Alty Vice Chairman.

Why It Matters
This filing confirms Lyntris has completed its IPO, bringing in cash (net $69.5M) that it plans primarily to use to pay down significant debt ($60M) and to fund ongoing operations. The lock-up schedule and the infusion of new board members are relevant to shareholders because they affect potential future share availability and company governance. The activated stock incentive plan may lead to future equity grants that could dilute share count over time. All numbers and governance changes are disclosed in the prospectus and the 8-K.
