On December 1, 2017, Heska Corporation (the “Company”) announced the promotion of Ms. Catherine Grassman to Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of the Company, following the departure on November 30, 2017 of Mr. John McMahon, who was serving as the Company’s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Grassman’s annual salary rate was increased to $210,000 effective December 1, 2017. Effective with her promotion, Ms. Grassman is the Company’s principal financial and principal accounting officer, and it is anticipated that, as such, she will provide certifications required by Rules 13a-14(a) and 13a-14(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be included in the Company’s upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Ms. Grassman, who is 41 years old, has been Heska’s Corporate Controller since January 2017. Previously, Ms. Grassman was with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, an unaffiliated international public accounting firm, for 15 years, most recently as Senior Manager. She is licensed in Colorado as a certified public accountant and possesses a Masters of Accountancy and a Bachelors of Accounting. Ms. Grassman is expected to serve the Company in this new capacity at the pleasure of the Board of Directors for the foreseeable future and until her further promotion or earlier resignation or removal.
