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

On September 4, 2018, nFüsz, Inc. announced that it had appointed Kenneth S. Cragun to its Board of Directors. The effective date of Mr. Cragun’s appointment is September 10, 2018. He will chair our Audit committee and serve on each of our other two Board committees: Compensation, and Governance and Nominating.

Mr. Cragun has been Chief Financial Officer of CorVel Corporation since January 2018. CorVel is an Irvine, California-based national provider of workers’ compensation solutions for employers, third-party administrators, insurance companies, and government agencies. Mr. Cragun also serves as a partner of Hardesty, LLC, a national executive services firm. He has been a partner of its Southern California Practice since October 2016. Mr. Cragun is a two-time finalist for the Orange County Business Journal “CFO of the Year” – Public Companies and has more than 30 years of experience, primarily in the technology industry. He served as chief financial officer of two Nasdaq-listed companies: Local Corporation (April 2009 to September 2016), formerly based in Irvine, California, which operated a U.S. top 100 website “Local.com” and, in June 2015, filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and Modtech Holdings, Inc. (June 2006 to March 2009), formerly based in Perris, California, which was a leading provider of modular classrooms in California and Florida and a significant provider of commercial and light industrial modular buildings in California, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and other neighboring states and, in October 2008, filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Mr. Cragun’s industry experience is vast with extensive experience in fast-growth environments and building teams in more than 20 countries. Mr. Cragun has led multiple financing transactions, including IPOs, PIPEs, convertible debt, term loans, and lines of credit. For these reasons, we believe that he will provide additional breadth and depth to our Board.

Mr. Cragun received his B.S. in Accounting from Colorado State University-Pueblo.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Cragun and any of our directors or executive officers. He has not engaged in any transaction with us since the beginning of our last fiscal year, the amount of which exceeded $120,000, in which he had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
