ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE
OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS;ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL
OFFICERS
Effective November 12, 2004, Hyrum W. Smith, Co-Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, will be taking on a broader role in sales and public speaking on behalf of the Company which, given his desire to reduce activities and commitments that take him away from home, will limit his availability to work as actively in his Board of Directors responsibilities. With that change, he will not continue his term as a director beyond the Annual Shareholders Meeting in January 2005. Mr. Smith founded Franklin International Institute in 1982, which became the publicly traded Franklin Quest in 1992. Franklin Quest and The Covey Leadership Center merged in 1997 to form FranklinCovey. In his new role, Mr. Smith will spend more time meeting with clients and doing speaking engagements which role he played prominently in the formative years of the Company. Mr. Smith will remain a major shareholder, but will not be an employee or actively participate in the management of the Company. He will continue to consult with the Board of Directors on an as-needed basis.
