Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Principal Officers
The Standard Register Company announced its Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Kathryn A. Lamme, has chosen to retire effective December 31, 2009. Ms. Lamme has been an officer of the Company since 1998, and General Counsel since 2002. The recent restructuring actions led Ms. Lamme to offer to accelerate her retirement in order to provide savings consistent with the restructuring plan and preserve employment opportunities for other associates. In recognition of her valued service and wise counsel, the Board is providing Ms. Lamme a departure arrangement equal to one year of base compensation, $311,000, to be paid out over the year following Ms. Lamme’s departure.
In connection with Ms. Lamme’s departure, the Board announced it intends to appoint Gerard D. Sowar, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, to be General Counsel effective upon Ms. Lamme’s retirement. Mr. Sowar joined Standard Register in 2003, and has progressed through a series of counsel roles, becoming Deputy General Counsel in 2008.
