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

(b) On November 21, 2013, Dr. Seth Putterman resigned as a director of Parametric Sound Corporation (the “Company”).

The Company reported on November 15, 2013 that the Company had notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that Dr. Putterman, a director of Parametric previously considered to be “independent,” had received compensation in 2013 that precluded him from being deemed independent as set forth in NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2)(B).   As a result, Parametric had three independent directors on its six-member Board of Directors (the “Parametric Board”), and thus did not comply with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(b)(1) which requires the Parametric Board to be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

To facilitate compliance with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(b)(1), on November 21, 2013, Dr. Putterman voluntarily tendered his resignation from the Parametric Board, effective immediately.

In connection with Dr. Putterman’s resignation, the Parametric Board reduced its size from six members to five members. The five-member Parametric Board now has three independent directors, representing a majority.

The Company received a letter from NASDAQ dated November 21, 2013 confirming that the Company has regained compliance with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(b)(1), and that the previously reported non-compliance issue is now closed.
 
There were no disagreements between the Company and Dr. Putterman on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
