At the Annual Meeting, Peter B. Davis received less than a majority of the total votes cast with respect to his re-election as a director. Promptly following the Annual Meeting, Mr. Davis tendered his resignation as required by the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles. In accordance with those Principles, the Nominating and Governance Committee promptly met in person to consider whether to recommend acceptance or rejection of Mr. Davis’ tendered resignation to the full Board of Directors, which is charged under the Principles with making that determination. The Nominating and Governance Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that it reject Mr. Davis’ tendered resignation. The Board of Directors met in person promptly after the meeting of the Nominating and Governance Committee to consider its recommendation, and review the facts and circumstances relevant to the stockholder vote. Considering the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and other factors, the Board of Directors rejected Mr. Davis’ resignation, noting Mr. Davis’ significant contributions to the Company, the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, and various committees of the Board in connection with the Company’s strategic alternative as well as his financial background and expertise. Mr. Davis did not take part in either the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board’s deliberations.
