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

On September 22, 2015, Shai Weiss announced that he will be resigning from his position as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Gevo, Inc. (“Gevo” or the “Company”) effective immediately. Mr. Weiss has served on the Board since 2007, was the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Effective as of September 22, 2015, Mr. Weiss will no longer be a member of the Board or any of its committees.

Mr. Weiss’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Weiss is currently the Chief Financial Officer and a Director of Virgin Atlantic Limited and due to the demands on his time in that capacity, he is unable to continue as a Board member of Gevo. However, Mr. Weiss will continue to advise the Board and the Company as his schedule permits.
