Item 6. Resignations of Registrant's Directors.
On April 23, 2001, the Registrant received a letter from Robert D.
Sanderson, one of the Registrant's directors, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 17.1. In his letter, Dr. Sanderson resigned as a director of
Registrant effective April 23, 2001 and stated his disagreement with a proposal
that Registrant's Board of Directors grant Thomas G. Grudnowski, Registrant's
Chief Executive Officer, the option to purchase 50,000 shares of Registrant's
common stock outside of Registrant's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan. The proposed
options were in addition to 50,000 options granted to Mr. Grudnowski under the
Registrant's 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan. The proposed options would vest over
a 4-year period and be exercisable at the fair market value of the common stock
on the date of grant.
The proposed option grant was approved on May 1, 2001 by each of
Registrant's remaining directors, with Mr. Grudnowski abstaining, after the
proposed grant was unanimously recommended by Registrant's Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee based its recommendation on, among other
factors, a review of Mr. Grudnowski's performance over the past year and the
compensation of other similarly situated chief executive officers.
