(a)
Effective November 11, 2014, F. Patrick Hughes resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Kimco Realty Corporation (the “Company”). Mr. Hughes submitted a resignation letter dated November 11, 2014, stating that he was resigning from the Board because he believes it is not advisable to continue as a member of the Board under circumstances in which a consensus of independent directors agrees with the desire of the Company’s Executive Chairman that Mr. Hughes not be nominated for reelection as a director at the Company’s May 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of Mr. Hughes’s resignation letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
At the time of his resignation, Mr. Hughes served as Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee and as a member of the Board’s Executive Compensation Committee and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee since 2004.
In connection with Mr. Hughes’s resignation, the Board has appointed Philip E. Coviello to serve as Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee.
