Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Mr. Jean Brunel submitted a letter of resignation to the board of directors on
September 19, 2007, stating that he would resign from the board, contingent upon
the Registrant's shareholders approving a bylaw amendment changing the size of
range in number of seats on the board at the annual meeting scheduled for
September 20, 2007. The shareholders approved the bylaw amendment, and thus Mr.
Brunel's resignation became effective on September 20, 2007.
Kenneth W. McAllister was re-elected as a director at the annual meeting, and
the terms of Robert G. Culp, III, Patrick L. Flavin, Kenneth R. Larson, and
Franklin N. Saxon continued. Thus, the five members of the board of directors
following the annual meeting and Mr. Brunel's resignation were Robert G. Culp,
III, Patrick L. Flavin, Kenneth R. Larson, Kenneth W. McAllister, and Franklin
N. Saxon. The board of directors met following the annual meeting and set the
number of seats on the board at five in accordance with the newly-adopted bylaw.
Also at the meeting held on September 20, 2007, the shareholders approved the
2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"), which provides for a variety of
equity-based awards that can be made to employees, directors, or consultants or
advisors to the Registrant. A more complete description of the 2007 Plan is
contained on pp. 14-19 of the Registrant's proxy statement previously filed with
the Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A on August 14, 2007, which description
is incorporated by reference. The proxy statement also contained the entire text
of the 2007 Plan in Annex A attached thereto.
