Gen. Beauchamp is the President of Beauchamp and Associates, LLC, which was established in October 2007 and which provides consulting and advisory services on logistics, technology introduction, construction business opportunity development and organizational and leadership development. Gen. Beauchamp served in the United States Army for thirty-seven years, retiring as a Lieutenant General in 2002. In the course of his military career he served in a wide variety of senior positions involving technology management, production management, industrial base management, project management, contract management and logistics management. These positions included Commanding General - Defense Industrial Supply Center; Deputy Chief of Staff for Research, Development and Acquisition, Army Materiel Command; Commanding General, Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command; and Director of Logistics and Security Assistance, U.S. Central Command. His last assignment prior to retirement was Deputy Commanding General of the Army Materiel Command. Following his retirement, Gen. Beauchamp joined the Washington Group International, where he served as Senior Vice President for Domestic Operations in the Defense Business Unit from October 2002 until September 2005, as Program Director for the Katrina Program Management Office until September 2006, and as a Special Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer until June 2007. Gen. Beauchamp was responsible for developing and managing a portfolio that included Department of Defense infrastructure projects, Homeland Security projects and support to the Department of State and other government agencies. Presently, Gen. Beauchamp is the Chairman of BDD, LLC, a service disabled veteran owned business and an executive of a number of privately-held companies. Gen. Beauchamp, age 69, received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Nebraska, a Master of Business Administration from the University of Dayton and an M.A. in Public Administration from Central Michigan University.

The Board also appointed Gen. Beauchamp to a newly-formed committee, designated as the Strategy and Risk Analysis Committee. At this time, the Board appointed current directors Jeffrey Beunier and J. David Luce to this committee and designated Mr. Beunier as the chairperson of this committee. The purpose of this committee is to assist the Board in monitoring the financial management of the Company, assessing risks facing the Company and reviewing strategic transactions that it may consider.

There is no agreement or understanding between Gen. Beauchamp and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed to the Board. Gen. Beauchamp is not a party to any transaction, or series of transactions, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. As a non-employee director, Gen. Beauchamp will participate in the non-employee director compensation arrangements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2014. In addition, it is expected that he will execute the Company’s standard form of non-employee director indemnification agreement. The form of the indemnification agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company hereby incorporates by reference the press release dated November 18, 2014 attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and made a part of this Item 5.02.

On November 13, 2014, the Company fixed February 26, 2015 as the date of the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”). Because the 2015 Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting,

the due dates for the submission of any qualified stockholder proposal or qualified stockholder nominations under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Company’s bylaws listed in the Company’s 2014 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2014 are no longer applicable. To be timely, any stockholder proposals or nominations, including any notice on Schedule 14N, intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for its 2015 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company at its principal offices, located at 300 Connell Drive, 5^th Floor, Berkeley Heights, N.J. 07922, by no later than December 22, 2014 and directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary. In addition, the proxy solicited by the Board of Directors for the 2015 Annual Meeting will confer discretionary authority to vote on any stockholder proposal presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting if the Company does not receive notice of such proposal prior to December 22, 2014. Other requirements for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials are set forth in the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and the Company’s bylaws. The Company currently intends to make its proxy materials for its 2015 Annual Meeting available beginning on or about January 16, 2015. The record date, time and location of the 2015 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting.
