The size of the Board will revert to seven coincident with the 2017 Annual Meeting when I. Edgar (Ed) Hendrix and Michael J.

The Board of Directors also appointed Ms. Carnes to serve on each of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board of Directors coincident with the commencement of her service as a director.
Ms. Carnes retired from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") in June 2016, where she had a thirty-four year career with the firm.

She is also a member of the Board of Trustees at Texas Children's Hospital where she serves on the Audit and Compliance; Operations, Planning and Development; and Risk Management and Insurance Committees.
As a non-employee director of the Company, Ms. Carnes will receive the same compensation provided to all non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The compensation of non-employee directors of the Company is described in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting under the caption "Director Compensation."
