In addition, the Board appointed Jon Q. Reynolds as the Lead Independent Director of the Board. Mr. Reynolds will chair executive sessions of non-management directors of the Board from time to time, while Mr. Davis will continue to chair meetings of the Board.

Ronald J. Packard will continue as a director of the Company, and per his employment agreement, will remain the Chief Executive Officer and will report directly to the Executive Chairman. The Compensation Committee of the Board also determined that Mr. Packard has satisfied the contractual performance condition for FY 2013 that will entitle him to his annual restricted stock award having a value of $1,250,000 to be granted in the ordinary course of business prior to the end of the calendar year.

In connection with his service as Executive Chairman, the Board has set an annual base salary for Mr. Davis of $480,000 with a target annual bonus of 150% of his base salary subject to performance objectives to be established by the Compensation Committee.
