The Board has appointed Ms. Walton to the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee of the Board.

 

Neither Ms. Walton nor Ms. Whitmire has any arrangements or understandings with any other person pursuant to which she was appointed to the Board, nor does either of them have a relationship or related transaction with the Company that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with her appointment as a director of the Company.
