| On March 12, 2009, Dr. Kristina M. Johnson was nominated for the office of Under Secretary of the Department of Energy of the United States. Dr. Johnson has served on the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Minerals Technologies Inc. (the "Company") since 2000. As a result of her nomination and subsequent progress toward her confirmation, Dr. Johnson notified the Company that she will not stand for re-election to the Board at the Company's 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). Therefore, while Dr. Johnson is listed as a Director nominee in the Company's 2009 Proxy Statement, her term on the Board will expire on May 20, 2009 at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, and she will not serve on the Board during the 2009-2012 Board years. Dr. Johnson is currently a member of the Company's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the "Committee"). The Company has no immediate plans to replace Dr. Johnson on the Board or the Committee. On May 19, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing Dr. Johnson's determination not to stand for re-election to the Board, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. | ||||
