Effective April 25, 2008, the Board of Directors made the following changes to the Committees of the Board and membership on such Committees:
- Eliminated the Finance and Investment Committee;
- Combined the Human Resources Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee into a single committee known as the Human Resources and Nominating Committee;
- Appointed Seth W. Lawry (Chair), Jess T. Hay and Scott L. Jaeckel to the Human Resources and Nominating Committee; and
- Appointed Albert M. Teplin (Chair), Jess T. Hay and Othón Ruiz Montemayor to the Audit Committee.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Because more than 50% of the Company’s voting power is held by affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Company has elected to be treated as a “controlled company” for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, and, as a result, the Company is exempt from certain independence requirements under such standards.
