(b) | David A. Daberko has indicated his intention to retire from his position as a member of the Board of Directors and its Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee effective at the Companys Annual Meeting of Shareholders on March 19, 2008. As Mr. Daberkos term was set to expire at that time, the Board of Directors has not nominated Mr. Daberko for re-election. Mr. Daberkos decision to retire was based on personal reasons and was not the result of any disagreement with the Company. |
The Board has nominated Michael J. Merriman for election to the Board of Directors at the March 19, 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to fill the seat on the Board that will be vacated by Mr. Daberko upon his retirement. Additional information regarding Mr. Merriman is included in the Companys Proxy Statement, which will be filed with the Commission later today.
