Item 5.02(d). Election of Director.
On February 16, 2006, the Board of Directors announced the appointment of Jill A. Greenthal as a member of the Registrant’s Board of Directors. Ms. Greenthal will serve as a director until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until her successor is elected or qualified, or if earlier, until her death, resignation or removal. Ms. Greenthal is not a director of any other reporting company.
Ms. Greenthal will receive compensation as an outside director pursuant to the Registrant’s standard outside director compensation plan. The Registrant pays its independent directors an annual retainer of $40,000 for serving on the Board of Directors, payable quarterly in equal installments. Each independent director also receives a meeting fee of $1,000 for each in-person meeting of the Registrant’s Board of Directors that they attend and a fee of $500 for each committee or telephonic Board meeting in which they participate. Twenty-five percent of the Registrant’s director’s fees are paid in shares of the Registrant’s Class A Common Stock, and the remaining 75% of such fees may be paid either in shares or in cash, at the election of the director. All of the Registrant’s directors receive reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with participation in Board and committee meetings.
Other than the foregoing, there have not been any transactions in the last two years with the Registrant in which Ms. Greenthal had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.
The press release related to the appointment of Ms. Greenthal is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
