Subject: Upcoming JNC Shareholder Vote-Please Vote
As you know the JNC shareholder vote for our proposed transaction with Madison Dearborn is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at a special meeting of JNC shareholders. A proxy statement containing detailed information on the proposed transaction and the balloting process has been sent to JNC shareholders of record at the close of business August 13, 2007, including any of you who hold shares. If you hold shares and have not received these proxy materials, please contact Larry Martin at 312-917-7947 or our proxy solicitor for the shareholders meeting, MacKenzie Partners, at 800-322-2885.
All eligible JNC shareholders are encouraged to participate in the balloting, regardless of the number of shares owned. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to approve the transaction. Other than with respect to shares held in our 401(k) plan, not voting on the merger agreement is the same as casting a negative ballot.
Our Board of directors has unanimously recommended that you vote your shares in favor of the merger agreement for the proposed Madison Dearborn transaction. We encourage you to vote for the merger agreement.
