Hill, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Bruce G. Blackey, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The stock options were cancelled at the request and upon the recommendation of Messrs. Hill and Blackey. Ms. Cheryl P. Beranek, Chief Executive Officer, made a similar recommendation to the Compensation Committee at its August 19, 2010 meeting that was accepted and accordingly, she was not granted options on August 19, 2010. While Ms. Beranek and Messrs. Hill and Blackey expressed to the Compensation Committee a variety of factors in support of their recommendations, the primary factor was their desire to provide incentives for Company performance across a broader range of employee groups and departments.
