On August 19, 2015, Chad Utrup, a director of our company and Chairman of our Audit Committee, informed us that he was resigning as the Chairman of our Audit Committee, effective immediately, but that he will remain a director and member of our Audit Committee until September 30, 2015 in order to provide for a transition of his responsibilities (see (d) below). Mr. Utrup’s resignation as a director of our company will be effective September 30, 2015.

On August 19, 2015, our Board of Directors increased its size from eight to nine members, and elected Brian Murray to serve as a Class I director to fill the vacancy created by such increase. Our Board also appointed Mr. Murray to serve on our Audit Committee as its Chairman. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Murray and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there are no related party transactions with respect to Mr. Murray reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Murray will receive compensation for his service on our Board and Audit Committee consistent with our current compensatory arrangement for non-employee directors, as described under the heading “Director Compensation” in our Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2015.
