Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 14, 2015, Dana Stalder informed QuinStreet, Inc. (the “Company”) that due to the demands of his venture capital business, he intends to resign as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) effective December 31, 2015. Mr. Stalder has served on the Board for over twelve years. He has served as Chairperson of the Audit Committee for over ten years.

On December 17, 2015, the Board appointed Stuart Huizinga to replace Mr. Stalder as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Mr. Huizinga has served on the Company’s Board and the Audit Committee since April 2015. He is a former audit partner at Arthur Andersen LLP and has served as chief financial officer of eHealth, Inc., a publicly-traded Internet company (NASDAQ: EHTH) for the past fifteen years. Mr. Huizinga possesses substantial expertise in public company reporting, auditing, and financial accounting, as well as knowledge of the online environment in which the Company operates.

On December 15, 2015, Former Senator William Bradley informed the Company that due to increasing international travel commitments, he intends to resign as a director on the Company’s Board effective December 31, 2015. Former Senator Bradley has served on the Board for over eleven years and as Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for over ten years. Former Senator Bradley will continue to serve the Company as Counselor to the Chairman, Doug Valenti, and will continue to advise the Company on a wide range of matters, including political matters and matters relating to the Company’s business generally, pursuant to a two-year agreement with the Company.

Neither the resignation of Mr. Stalder nor of Former Senator Bradley was the result of any disagreement with the Company.

The number of directors on the Company’s Board after the departures of Mr. Stalder and Former Senator Bradley stands at eight. The Company has no current plans to fill the vacancies resulting from their resignations.
