Reduction in Number of Nominees for Election as Directors at the Annual Meeting
On October 27, 2008, Anthony A. Sarandes, who served as our director and had been nominated for reelection as a director at our Annual Meeting, resigned for personal business reasons from our Board of Directors. As a result of Mr. Sarandes’ resignation and the short time remaining before the Annual Meeting, we have reduced the number of members of our Board of Directors to six, withdrawn Mr. Sarandes from nomination for reelection, and will elect only six directors at the Annual Meeting. Our Board’s Nominations Committee will recommend a replacement for Mr. Sarandes on our Compensation Committee.
Our remaining six incumbent directors named in our proxy statement continue as nominees for reelection at the Annual Meeting to fill the current six seats on our Board of Directors. Information regarding those incumbent directors is contained in the proxy statement which was distributed to our shareholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
