Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 14, 2013, Neil Weiner submitted his written resignation from the registrant’s board of directors effective immediately. Mr. Weiner was the Chairman of the Audit Committee and its "financial expert", and he also served on the Compensation Committee. In his August 14, 2013 letter to the registrant, Mr. Weiner stated his resignation is based on his disagreement with the registrant’s share buyback program as an inefficient allocation of the registrant’s capital designed not to benefit the registrant’s shareholders at large, but instead to benefit the registrant’s majority shareholder. A copy of Mr. Weiner’s August 14, 2013 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
In addition, on August 17, 2013, Richard Surratt submitted his written resignation from the registrant’s board of directors effective immediately. Mr. Surratt’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the registrant on any matter relating to the registrant’s operations, policies or practices.
The registrant does not have any plans to fill these vacancies in order to retain the benefit of the director compensation expense reduction resulting from these resignations. However, the registrant will comply with the Audit Committee composition requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
