At a meeting of the Board of Directors of VeraSun Energy Corporation (the “Company”) held on September 19, 2007, the size of the Board was reduced from seven members to five members. D. Duane Gilliam resigned as a Class I director and was appointed as a Class III director to balance the class sizes as required by the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Mr. Gilliam was reappointed to serve as a member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board and to serve as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Board also appointed Steven T. Kirby to serve as a member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board and to serve as the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Company believes it now complies with NYSE Rule 303A.01, which requires a listed company to have a majority of independent directors on its board, and NYSE Rule 303A.07(a), which requires a listed company to have three independent directors on its audit committee.
