On March 31, 2017, William H. Brownfield, an independent director, member of the nominating and corporate governance committee and the audit committee, and member and chairman of the compensation committee of the board of directors of Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc., resigned from such positions. Mr. Brownfield's decision to resign from the Board and committees was not the result of any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of the Company or its management. On April 4, 2017, in accordance with the Company's bylaws and charter, the board decreased the size of the board from six directors to five directors. Also on April 4, 2017, the board appointed Timothy S. Morris, one of the company's independent directors and a member of the compensation committee of the board, as chairman of the compensation committee, to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Brownfield's resignation from that position.
