On April 30, 2014, Elizabeth Nelson resigned, effective as of the date on which the Company publicly releases its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Ms. Nelson will continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee and as a member of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee until her resignation. Ms. Nelson’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

In addition, on April 30, 2014, the Board increased the size of the Board from seven (7) to eight (8) directors and appointed Gary Haroian to the Board to fill a vacancy as a Class III director, to serve until the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Mr. Haroian will join the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Audit Committee, and will succeed Ms. Nelson as Chair of the Company’s Audit Committee.

Mr. Haroian’s compensation will be consistent with that provided to all of the Company’s non-employee directors. In addition, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Haroian in connection with his appointment to the Board, which is expected to be in substantially the same form as that entered into with the other directors of the Company.

There is no arrangement or understanding pursuant to which Mr. Haroian was appointed to the Board. There are no family relationships between Mr. Haroian and any director or executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Haroian has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
