(the “Company”) increased the number of directors serving on the Board from seven to eight and filled the vacancy created by such newly-created directorship by appointing Laurie Ann Goldman.  Ms. Goldman will serve as a Class II Director, where her initial term will expire at the Company’s 2016 annual stockholders meeting.  The Board determined, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, that Ms. Goldman is “independent” as defined under NYSE listing standards. 

No arrangements exist between the Company and Ms. Goldman or any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director.  There are no transactions in which Ms. Goldman has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Ms. Goldman will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s publicly disclosed director compensation policies, pursuant to which she will receive an annual retainer on the same terms as the Company’s other non-employee directors.
