In addition, the Company announced changes in the planned executive leadership at two of the four standalone companies including that Samuel L. Katz will no longer serve as Chairman and CEO of TDS, effective immediately, and that Henry R. Silverman will now become Chairman and CEO of the new Real Estate Services company upon its expected spin-off in the spring of 2006.
