Mr. Szames' decision not stand for re-election was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Szames indicated that he would not stand for re-election so he may pursue other opportunities. Mr. Szames will continue to serve out his current term on the Board, which ends at the Annual Meeting.
