Effective January 9, 2007, Stephen Duff has resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Duff’s decision to resign is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

Mr. Duff also resigned from the Company’s Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. On January 10, 2007, the Board of Directors elected James J. Spanfeller to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as Chairman and elected Samuel H. Jones, Jr. as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.

 

“I have enjoyed working with the Viewpoint team,” said Steve Duff. “I believe that the market opportunity for online advertising is growing and Viewpoint is well positioned to take advantage of this with its technology and focused management team.”

 

“On behalf of the Board and the Company, I would like to thank Steve for his invaluable insight and contribution to the Company over the past several years,” said Patrick Vogt, President and CEO of Viewpoint. “We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

 

Viewpoint is in the process of conducting a search for a Board member to replace Mr. Duff.
