Company (&#147;Matador&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) of his resignation from the Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of the Company as of such date. Mr.&nbsp;Mitchell served as a member of the Nominating Committee of the Board.
Mr.&nbsp;Mitchell recently retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Toot&#146;n Totum Food Stores, LLC, for which he continues to serve as Chairman. Mr.&nbsp;Mitchell has expressed his intention to spend more time on civic and charitable
activities and his other business interests. The Company greatly appreciates Mr.&nbsp;Mitchell&#146;s time and years of service to the Board, including his help with Matador&#146;s initial public offering. </P>
