On March 23, 2009, Mr. Bruce D. Swail informed the Company that he is regretfully unable to serve on its Board of Directors as originally planned. Following his recent appointment to the Board, concerns were raised by Mr. Swail’s existing business partners regarding his ability to take on additional responsibilities as a Director of a public company. Mr. Swail did not participate in any Board activities or meetings during his short tenure. The Board has accepted his resignation and has immediately reactivated its search for an additional independent director.
