Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01     Other Events

Since the retirement of Michael R. Walton from the Company's Board of Directors on September 9, 2013, the Audit Committee has only had two members.  On September 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") noting that the Company was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2), which requires the Company to have at least three independent directors serving on its Audit Committee.  NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) provides the Company with a cure period to fill the vacancy on its Audit Committee until the earlier of the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders or September 9, 2014.

On December 12, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved the appointment of Richard E. Wenninger, an existing independent director, as a new member of the Audit Committee with immediate effect.  The Company has, therefore, cured the deficiency and is now in full compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2).

On December 12, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors also appointed Andrew S. Love, an existing independent director, as a new member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to fill the vacancy created by Michael R. Walton's retirement.
