Effective October 1, 2013, Martin A. Berkowitz, resigned as interim Chief Administrative Officer (“CAO”), a position he had held since May 15, 2013.
On September 27, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors, with Mr. Berkowitz abstaining, considered whether Mr. Berkowitz’s role as CAO and any compensation received for such role would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director going forward. The Board concluded that such role and compensation had not interfered with such judgment and approved Mr. Berkowitz to be an independent director effective October 1, 2013. As a result, effective October 1, 2013, Mr. Berkowitz was appointed to each of the Audit, Compensation and Nomination and Governance Committees of the Board of Directors.
