Election of Noreen E. Skelly to the Board of Directors
 
Effective April 30, 2019, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Construction Partners, Inc. (the "Company"), in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and upon the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, unanimously voted to increase the size of the Board from six (6) directors to seven (7) directors and to elect Noreen E. Skelly to fill the vacancy created by the increase in the size of the Board.  Ms. Skelly will serve as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the 2021 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. The Board also appointed Ms. Skelly to serve as chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board. The Board has determined that Ms. Skelly is independent under Nasdaq listing standards and is otherwise qualified to serve on the Board and the Audit Committee. 
 
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Skelly and any other person pursuant to which she was elected as a director.  Additionally, there are no related person transactions involving Ms. Skelly and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As a member of the Board, Ms. Skelly will be entitled to receive the same compensation that is paid to the Company's other non-employee directors other than the Executive Chairman, as the same may be adjusted by the Board from time to time.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on April 30, 2019 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and the information set forth therein is incorporated herein by reference.

Indemnification Agreement
 
In connection with her election as a director of the Company, Ms. Skelly entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company, effective as of April 30, 2019, the form of which previously has been approved by the Board and entered into by each of the Company's current directors and executive officers (the "Indemnification Agreement"). The Indemnification Agreement requires the Company to indemnify Ms. Skelly to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and is in addition to protections provided in the Company’s governing documents. Under the Indemnification Agreement, Ms. Skelly will be indemnified for certain liabilities and will be advanced certain expenses that have been incurred as a result of actions brought, or threatened to be brought, against her in connection with her duties. The Indemnification Agreement also contains various covenants by the Company as to the maintenance of directors' and officers' liability insurance.  This description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
