On February 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of Schawk, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Michael G. O’Rourke as a director to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Christopher Lacovara on February 1, 2007. In addition, Mr. O’Rourke was appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors determined that Mr. O’Rourke meets the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and those set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The appointment of Mr. O’Rourke brings the Company back into compliance with NYSE corporate governance rules that require that an audit committee be comprised of at least three independent directors.
Mr. O’Rourke currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Signature Bank located in Chicago, Illinois. He previously served as Executive Vice President and Manager of Commercial Lending and Commercial Real Estate at Associated Bank Chicago from 2001 until 2005, when he left to organize Signature Bank.
