Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Board of Directors has determined to restructure its Governance and Nominating Committee into two separate Committees, a Governance Committee and a Nominating Committee, effective November 19, 2009. The membership of the two Committees will be determined at the Board’s regular meeting on that date. However, the Board has determined that Director Charles D. Kissner, currently a member of the Governance and Nominating Committee, will be a member of the separate Governance Committee and not a member of the separate Nominating Committee.
The Governance Committee will develop and implement policies and practices related to corporate governance, review and monitor implementation of our policies and procedures, assist in developing criteria for open positions on the Board of Directors, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to committee assignments.
The Nominating Committee assists the Board in selecting nominees for election to the Board as directors and recommends directors candidates to the Board. The Nominating Committee will be composed of independent members.
