Effective September 1, 2005, Vincent L. Germanese, formally Senior Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary assumed the new role of Senior
Vice President, Corporate Development. Mr. Germanese will continue to report to
John H. Short, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, and will continue
to be a member of the company's Executive Management Committee. This change in
responsibility was initiated by a request of Mr. Germanese and will afford him
the desired flexibility of schedule to address a personal health matter.
The company has engaged a leading executive recruiting firm to lead the
company's search for a new Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Until that search is completed, Mark A. Bogovich, Vice President and Chief
Accounting Officer will assume the added responsibilities of Interim Chief
Financial Officer. Mr. Bogovich is currently an executive officer of the
company. Information that is required to be disclosed under the federal
securities regulations due to Mr. Bogovich's status as an executive officer of
the company is included in the company's proxy materials for the annual meeting
of stockholders held on May 3, 2005 and annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.
