governance refers to the internal policies and practices by which the Company is
operated and controlled on behalf of its shareholders. Sound corporate
governance starts with a strong, independent Board that is accountable to the
Company and its shareholders. The role of the Board is to effectively govern the
affairs of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders, and to the extent
appropriate under Minnesota law, other constituencies, including the Company&#8217;s
employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which ALLETE does
business. The Company views good corporate governance as a source of competitive
advantage, because the Company&#8217;s ultimate goal is to best focus and direct its
resources.</font></div>

the Board and its committees reviewed and enhanced established corporate
governance practices. This ensures that the Board and its committees have the
necessary authority and practices in place to review and evaluate the Company&#8217;s
business operations, as needed, and to make decisions that are independent of
the Company&#8217;s management. As examples, the Board and its committees undertake an
annual self-evaluation process, meet regularly without members of management
present, have direct access to and meet individually with members of management,
and retain their own advisors as they deem appropriate.</font></div>

effort to further develop the Board, Directors are asked to attend an
independent educational seminar each year and to share their experiences and
observations with the other Directors. In addition to seminars, Board members
attended educational presentations hosted by the Company during 2008 addressing
regulatory process and ratemaking. In 2009, the Company provided an educational
presentation to the Board about emissions allowances and their

operating policies, Board committee responsibilities, Director compensation,
Director stock ownership, and other matters. Each committee of the Board also
has a charter pursuant to which it operates. The Audit Committee Charter was

the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, and an appropriate course of
action may include subsequent ratification by the Corporate Governance
Committee.</font></div>

an arm&#8217;s-length transaction with an unrelated third party; whether there are
business reasons to enter into the transaction; whether the transaction could
impair the independence of a Director; and whether the transaction would present
an improper conflict of interest, taking into account the size of the
transaction, the overall financial position of the related person, the direct or
indirect relationship of the related person, and the ongoing nature of any
proposed relationships. The Corporate Governance Committee will also
periodically review and assess relationships to ensure ongoing fairness to the

purchases from ILCO totaled $567,414.02. After discussion, the Corporate

and represented a modest amount of the revenue for Mr. Rajala&#8217;s companies in

duties and the likelihood that he or she will be willing and able to serve on
the Board for a sustained period. The Corporate Governance Committee will

</font>Executive pay is linked to Company performance. We reward Named Executive
Officers for achieving annual goals tied to ALLETE&#8217;s business strategy.
Long-term incentives promote a stable, experienced executive management team and

</font>We use a mix of compensation elements to accomplish varying objectives.
Base pay and executive retirement benefits are designed to attract and retain
executive talent. Annual incentives focus Named Executive Officers on achieving
strong annual performance. Long-term incentives encourage executives to enhance
our long-term success and profitability and also provide incentive to remain
employed with the Company. Allocation between annual and long-term compensation
opportunities is based on market comparison data, as further described in the
section "Process for Determining Executive Compensation" beginning on page 19.
Severance benefits encourage continued dedication and objectivity from Named
Executive Officers when evaluating transactions that could result in the loss of
employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. We provide
perquisites, but only on a modest basis to facilitate the Named Executive
Officers&#8217; performance of their responsibilities.</font></div>

</font>We strive to offer fair and competitive compensation to Named Executive
Officers. We use data, emphasizing energy services and real estate industry
data, to establish a range for executive compensation. In setting pay levels, we
consider the individual&#8217;s experience in the position, past performance, job
responsibilities, and equity within the executive management group. For a Named
Executive Officer with sufficient experience to fully perform the duties of his
or her position, we generally set compensation levels so that when target
performance is achieved under each of the Company&#8217;s incentive compensation
plans, total compensation is near the midpoint of the pay range established
using market comparison data. The process of how comparison companies are
selected for various purposes is discussed in the section, &#8220;Process for
Determining Executive Compensation&#8221; beginning on page 19. Consistent with our
pay-for-performance philosophy, Named Executive Officers can earn higher
compensation if actual performance exceeds target performance goals. Conversely,
total compensation to Named Executive Officers in any year in which the Company
does not meet target performance goals will generally fall below the midpoint in
comparison to other companies. Total compensation generally increases as
position and responsibility increase, but at the same time, a greater percentage
of total compensation is tied to performance&#8212;and is therefore at risk&#8212;as
position and responsibility increase. This is reflected in the differences
between Named Executive Officers&#8217; opportunities under our annual and long-term
incentive plans.</font></div>

established the Common Stock ownership guidelines in October 2005. Named
Executive Officers subject to the ownership guidelines who held their current
positions as of October 2005 have until October 2010 to meet the guidelines;
Named Executive Officers appointed after October 2005 have seven years from
their appointment to meet the guidelines. Annually, the Board reviews executive
officers&#8217; Common Stock ownership to confirm that the Named Executive Officers
are progressing toward the ownership guidelines. In July 2008, the Board
determined that the Named Executive Officers had increased the number of shares
owned and were progressing towards meeting the ownership guidelines based on the
then-current share price. However, executive officers&#8217; Common Stock ownership
value as a multiple of salary decreased compared to a year ago due to recent
declines in our share price. Ownership levels as of March 13, 2009, are shown on

by the Company. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(Tax Code), limits to $1 million the amount of compensation that we may deduct
in any one year for Mr. Shippar and certain of the next most-highly-compensated
executive officers. That limit does not apply to compensation that qualifies as
"performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m). Our
Executive Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) provides that if Section 162(m) would
otherwise limit the Company's deduction for an AIP award, then the Compensation
Committee will defer the nondeductible portion to our supplemental executive
retirement plan, which is described on page 17. We believe that stock options
and performance shares awarded under the ALLETE Executive Long-Term Incentive
Compensation Plan (LTIP) are fully tax deductible because they meet the
&#8220;performance-based compensation" standard of Section 162(m). Our restricted
stock units do not qualify as "performance-based compensation."</font></div>

payments.&#8221; If total payments in connection with a change of control exceed the
limits of Section 280G, the Company&#8217;s deduction is limited and the recipient is
subject to an excise tax. Our severance plan provides that if plan payments to a
participant would exceed the Section 280G limits, payments to the participant
will be reduced to the maximum amount that can be paid without causing the
Company to lose its deduction. If, however, after the reduction a participant
would receive less than 85 percent of the amount that otherwise would have been
received, plan payments will not be reduced and the participant will instead
receive an additional gross-up payment to make the participant whole for the
excise tax.</font></div>

      </font>Participation in the AIP is limited to certain management-level
      employees, including each Named Executive Officer, because as position and
      responsibility increase, a greater percentage of pay is tied to
      performance. For each Named Executive Officer, except Ms. Holquist, AIP
      awards were designed to reward achievement of corporate earnings and cash
      flow goals, and to reward the accomplishment of strategic initiatives as
      further described under "Grants of Plan-Based Awards Discussion" beginning
      on page 29. Earnings was selected because it is widely tracked and
      reported by external financial analysts and used as a measure to evaluate
      the Company&#8217;s performance. Cash flow was selected as a financial measure
      because it is used to evaluate the Company&#8217;s ability to generate funds
      from internal operations for capital projects, repayment of debt, and
      dividend payments. Earnings and cash flow were also selected because both
      measures can impact the Company&#8217;s stock price. AIP awards are expressed as
      a percentage of salary for Named Executive Officers, except Ms. Holquist;
      in 2008 target-level award opportunities ranged from 30 percent to <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">50

</font>We use long-term incentive compensation to encourage Named Executive
Officers to develop and implement business strategies that grow total
shareholder return (TSR) over time, and to reward executives when TSR goals are
achieved. Long-term incentive compensation programs also encourage executives to
stay with the Company because they deliver rewards over time and contain
forfeiture provisions for certain terminations of employment. The Compensation
Committee annually grants the Named Executive Officers long-term incentive
awards under the LTIP. The Compensation Committee approves LTIP awards in
January each year, effective as of the first business day in February to allow
for the orderly administration, communication, and reporting of the awards. We
do not have any plan or program in place to time equity awards to the release of
material non-public information. The LTIP was most recently amended and approved
by shareholders in May 2005.</font></div>

the aggregate target value of the LTIP award to Named Executive Officers ranged
from $100,000 to $450,000. LTIP awards granted in 2008 to each Named Executive
Officer, except Ms. Holquist, consisted of nonqualified stock options with a
ten-year term and three-year vesting period, and performance shares with a
three-year performance period. Generally, the Compensation Committee allocates
the target value of the LTIP awards evenly between stock options and performance
shares; the target value of Mr. Shippar&#8217;s LTIP award, however, is more heavily
weighted toward performance shares given his position and higher Common Stock
ownership requirement. The target value of Ms. Holquist&#8217;s LTIP award is
comprised of restricted stock units and a long-term cash award that vests over
three years. Her cash award is designed to reward her for achieving goals
specific to the Company&#8217;s real estate business; both forms of long-term
compensation encourage her retention, which is important given the cyclical
nature of the real estate market. The table below shows the face value of the
LTIP target opportunity for each Named Executive Officer and the allocation of
this opportunity between stock options, performance shares, restricted stock
units and cash awards. Each long-term incentive compensation element is
described below following the table.</font></div>

Generally, the SERP Plans are designed to provide retirement benefits to the
Named Executive Officers that, in aggregate, substantially equal the benefits
they would have been entitled to receive if the Tax Code did not impose
limitations on the types and amounts of compensation that can be included in the
benefit calculations under tax-qualified benefit plans. The SERP Plans have
three components: a supplemental pension benefit, a supplemental defined
contribution benefit, and a deferral account benefit. On December 31, 2004, the
Company froze SERP I with respect to all deferrals and vested accrued retirement
benefits. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company established SERP II to comply
with Section 409A of the Tax Code. SERP II governs all compensation initially
deferred and retirement benefits accrued or vested after December 31, 2004. SERP
benefits are discussed in more detail starting on page 34.</font></div>

currently have no employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers, all
of whom have long tenures with the Company. We have generally promoted senior
executives from within our ranks and attracted strong talent with ties to our
area of operations. On February 13, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the
ALLETE and Affiliated Companies Change In Control Severance Plan (Severance
Plan), which provides the Named Executive Officers and other key executives with
severance benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company. The
Company implemented the Severance Plan to enable and encourage the continued
dedication and objectivity of members of the Company&#8217;s management in the event
of a potential change in control. In the event of a potential change in control
of the Company, the Severance Plan allows the Named Executive Officers to focus
their attention on obtaining the best possible transaction for the shareholders
and to make an independent evaluation of all possible transactions without being
diverted by concerns regarding the impact various transactions may have on the
security of their jobs and benefits.</font></div>

Severance Plan, Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive specific
benefits in the event of an involuntary termination of employment (including
resignation by the employee following specified changes in duties, compensation,
or benefits that are treated as involuntary terminations) occurring six months
before and up to two years after a change in control. We think that requiring
two trigger events, both a change in control and termination of employment, is
the most effective way to meet the objectives of the Severance Plan&#8212;to allow the
Named Executive Officers to remain neutral and obtain the best deal for the
shareholders.</font></div>

the Board of Directors also approved an amendment to SERP II that accelerates
payment of the supplemental pension benefits and the deferral account benefits
earned after 2004 upon a termination of employment in connection with a change
in control. There are also change in control features in both the AIP and the
LTIP. These change in control features of the AIP, LTIP, and SERP II are
designed to prevent substantial loss of benefits to Named Executive Officers if
a change in control were to occur. The potential value of change in control
severance benefits are discussed in the section titled, &#8220;Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control&#8221; starting on page 39.</font></div>

compensation to the compensation of senior executives at other companies.

Inc., based on comparability to ALLETE Properties, LLC in terms of industry,
geographic location, and size as measured by net income and revenue. In several
instances operating division-level leadership was a more appropriate position
match for Ms. Holquist, due to the size of the overall company. The companies in

Study</font>. In late 2008, the Compensation Committee directed Hewitt to
perform another comprehensive review of substantially all executive compensation
elements to assist the Compensation Committee in evaluating whether then-current
target-level compensation and pay elements were consistent with our compensation
philosophy and to provide context for the Compensation Committee&#8217;s 2009
compensation deliberations and decisions, and Mr. Shippar&#8217;s recommendations for
the other executive officers. Hewitt analyzed aggregate compensation, meaning
base pay, annual incentives, and long-term incentives, of our executive
officers&#8212;as compared to the five most-highly compensated executive officers at
each company in a 21-company peer group. The study used the same 16-company peer
group as was used to measure our 2008 performance under the LTIP plus five
additional diversified electric utilities, which were added to the peer group to
better align the peer group with our current operations. All of the companies
were selected by the Compensation Committee based on comparability to ALLETE in
terms of size (i.e., market capitalization and enterprise value), industry, and
stock-trading characteristics (i.e., dividend yield, price-earnings ratio, and
market-to-book value). The companies in the 2008 peer group were as
follows:</font></div>

      Company changed the group of companies used to measure TSR performance
      under the LTIP to place more emphasis on long-term performance relative to
      the electric utility industry. Relative TSR performance is used to
      determine the number of performance shares earned under the LTIP. The peer
      group approved for the performance periods beginning after 2008 is
      comprised of 27 companies selected from the Edison Electric Institute
      Stock Index based on comparability to the Company in terms of size as
      measured by market capitalization and payment of a dividend. These changes
      better align the peer group to our current
  operations.</font></div>

      requires the Company to estimate forfeitures when stock awards are granted

      forfeited. The assumptions used to calculate these amounts are disclosed

      the Annual Report. The Company recognizes expense for performance shares
      over the three-year performance period of each award granted; the cost of
      restricted stock units is also spread over the three-year vesting period.
      Therefore, the amount shown in column (e) for each Named Executive Officer

      the market price of our Common Stock. The 2007 amount shown in column (e)

      of Common Stock earned in 2007 and valued at the February 13, 2008 closing

      amounts reflect the full, actual cost of the fringe benefit in all cases,
      except for spouses&#8217; travel and entertainment expenses. The aggregate cost
      to the Company for spousal travel, meals, and entertainment was calculated
      as the full actual cost of each benefit in excess of the amount the
      Company would have paid had the Named Executive Officer been traveling or
      eating without his or her spouse. In early 2009, the Compensation
      Committee eliminated all car
allowances.</font></div>

Results Sharing award was based on the achievement of both financial goals and
operational goals. The target financial goal was net income from continuing
operations of $82.34 million, excluding certain non-operational events (NICO).
The specific operational goals related to safety, reliability, and environmental
protection. Results Sharing awards are adjusted downward by up to 40 percent if
the operational goals are not met. The amounts shown in column (d) in the Grants
of Plan-Based Awards Table above reflect the minimum Results Sharing awards
payable, which were set at 3 percent of salary, and would have been payable if
the financial target had been met but no operational goals were achieved. The
target Results Sharing awards shown in column (e) were set at 5 percent of
salary, and would have been payable if the financial target and all operational
goals were met. The amounts shown in column (f) reflect the maximum Results
Sharing awards payable, which were set at 15 percent of salary, and would have
been earned if the financial results had exceeded the target by 48 percent and
all operational goals were met.</font></div>

amount shown in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 26 includes
Results Sharing awards earned in 2008 equal to 5.23 percent of base salary for
each Named Executive Officer, except Ms. Holquist who does not participate in
the program. The award amount reflects results of NICO exceeding target by
$530,000 and 100 percent of the operational goals having been met. The Company
contributes half of the Results Sharing award as Common Stock to the Named
Executive Officer&#8217;s RSOP account. Named Executive Officers, like all Results
Sharing participants, may elect to receive the remaining portion of the award in
cash or to contribute some or all of it to their RSOP account. A Named Executive
Officer who retires, dies, or becomes disabled during the year remains eligible
to receive a Results Sharing award prorated to reflect the portion of the year
actually worked. The Compensation Committee also has discretion to pay a
prorated Results Sharing award to any Named Executive Officer who terminates
employment for other reasons during the year.</font></div>

based on the employee&#8217;s years of service and the employee&#8217;s final average

highest consecutive 48 months of salary and Results Sharing awards in the last
15 years of service. As the result of a Company-wide nonunion benefit change,
Named Executive Officers have not accrued additional credited service under
Retirement Plan A since September 30, 2006. The pension benefit is calculated as

compensation generally used to calculate SERP benefits is the sum of a
participant's (i) annual salary and Results Sharing awards in excess of the Tax
Code limits imposed on Retirement Plan A and (ii) AIP awards. The earnings used
for purposes of calculating SERP benefits are equal to the highest consecutive
48 months of such SERP compensation. The highest-consecutive 48-month salary and
AIP awards can result from different periods; however, both the salary and the
AIP awards must fall within the last 15 years of service. The present value on
December 31, 2008 of each Named Executive Officer&#8217;s SERP pension benefit is
shown in the Pension Benefits Table on page 34. The 2008 increase in the SERP II
pension benefit value for each Named Executive Officer is included in column (h)

also provides a supplemental defined contribution benefit and a deferral account
benefit. The SERP supplemental defined contribution benefit is designed to
provide Named Executive Officers a benefit that is substantially equal to the
benefit they would have been entitled to receive if the Tax Code did not impose
limitations on the types and amounts of compensation that can be included in the
benefit calculations under the Flexible Benefit Plan and RSOP. Annually, each
Named Executive Officer may elect to defer to a SERP II deferral account, on a
before-tax basis, some or all of his or her salary and AIP award. Named
Executive Officers whose base salary is below the tax-qualified benefit plan&#8217;s
annual compensation limits may also elect to defer some or all of the SERP II
defined contribution benefit. Named Executive Officers can select among
different crediting rates to apply to deferral balances under the SERP Plans,
which match the investment options available to all employees under the RSOP.
These investment options include mutual funds and similar investments. The Named
Executive Officers may change their investment elections at any time. The amount
of the 2008 SERP II defined contribution benefit received by each Named
Executive Officer is included in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table on
page 26. The aggregate amount each Named Executive Officer elected to defer and
the amount that the Company contributed to the SERP II in 2008 is shown in the

Severance Plan also provides a lump sum benefit continuation payment to Mr.
Shippar, Mr. Schober, Ms. Amberg, and Ms. Welty approximately equal in value to
the benefits (as specified below) that they would have received had they
remained in the employ of the Company after their termination for an additional
2.5 years, and in the case of Ms. Holquist, an additional 1.5 years. The lump
sum benefit continuation payment includes the value of the following benefits:
(i) premiums for medical, dental, and basic group term life insurance benefits,
(ii) Company contributions under the Flexible Benefit Plan, (iii) the present
value of additional SERP II benefits the Participant would have received under
the SERP II had employment continued for 2.5 or 1.5 years after the later of the
change in control or termination, as applicable.</font></div>

change in control, awards under the AIP would be calculated as if the end of the
performance year had occurred, based on the Company&#8217;s performance through the
date of the change in control. AIP awards could range from zero to 200 percent
of the target award opportunity depending on actual goal results. The SERP II
also provides for a lump sum payment of benefits earned after December 31, 2004
through the termination of employment in connection with a change in control.
Under the LTIP, if a change in control were to occur, unvested stock options,
restricted stock units, and long term incentive cash would immediately vest;
performance share awards would immediately pay out on a prorated basis at the
target level or the level earned based on then-current actual TSR ranking as
compared to the peer group companies, whichever were greater; and long-term
incentive cash awards would be calculated as if the end of the performance year
had occurred, based on performance through the date of the change in
control.</font></div>

also provides for immediate accelerated vesting of stock options and, on a
prorated basis, of restricted stock units and long term incentive cash upon the
retirement, disability, or death of a Named Executive Officer. Named Executive
Officers are given three years from retirement, and one year from disability or
death, to exercise all outstanding stock options. Named Executive Officers may
be entitled to a prorated performance share award upon retirement, disability,
or death if TSR performance goals are achieved at the conclusion of the
three-year performance period. The following table illustrates the value Named
Executive Officers would have received solely in connection with accelerated
vesting triggered by a retirement, disability or death, had the event occurred
on December 31, 2008, except as to Ms. Amberg and Ms. Holquist, for whom
retirement is not a potential triggering event.</font></div>

      performance goals are achieved at the conclusion of the three-year

      earned for the 2008&#8212;2010 performance period based on TSR performance of
      116.7 percent of target through December 31, 2008. The amounts shown
      assume no performance shares were or would be earned for the 2006&#8212;2008 and
      2007&#8212;2009 performance periods because TSR performance for the applicable
      performance periods as calculated through December 31, 2008 were below the

our employees, including the Named Executive Officers, remain employed while on
long-term disability and continue to receive retirement benefit contributions as
described on page 36. While on long-term disability, Named Executive Officers
continue to earn credited service for purposes of calculating the SERP II
benefit until the earlier of voluntary resignation or reaching normal retirement
age. To calculate an estimate of the additional SERP II benefit that would have
been earned by each Named Executive Officer if he or she had gone on long-term
disability at December 31, 2008, we compared the discounted net present value of
the accumulated SERP II benefit at December 31, 2008 and at normal retirement
age. The table below illustrates the estimated additional SERP II benefit that
would have been earned.</font></div>

      amounts shown represent the difference between the discounted net present
      values of the annual annuity payments to which the Named Executive
      Officers would be entitled upon a termination of employment occurring on
      December 31, 2008 and at normal retirement age. The following assumptions
      were used to calculate the amounts shown above: Each Named Executive
      Officer became disabled on December 31, 2008 and remained on disability
      until reaching normal retirement age; discount rate of 6.12 percent; cost
      of living adjustment of 2.5 percent; and female spouses are assumed to be
      three years younger than male spouses. The discounted net present values
      of the accumulated SERP II benefit at age 65 for Mr. Shippar, Mr. Schober,
      and Ms. Welty is less than the discounted net present value of their
      accumulated SERP II benefit at December 31, 2008 and therefore there is no
      benefit enhancement. The discounted net present value of Ms. Amberg&#8217;s and
      Ms. Holquist&#8217;s SERP II benefit was $0 as of December 31, 2008 because they
      were not vested in their SERP II benefit on December 31, 2008. Therefore,
      the amounts shown for Ms. Amberg and Ms. Holquist reflect the total
      discounted net present value of their estimated SERP II benefit at age 65,
      which is deemed an enhancement for these
  purposes.</font></div>

Committee of the Board is comprised of four non-employee Directors, each of whom
has been determined by the Board to be "independent" under ALLETE's Corporate
Governance Guidelines, and within the meaning of the rules of both the NYSE and
the SEC. The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee
is financially literate and that Mr. Neve is an "audit committee financial
expert" within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee operates
pursuant to a written charter that was amended and restated in January 2008. The
current Audit Committee charter is available on the Company's website at <font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">www.allete.com</font>. The
Audit Committee assists the Board's oversight of the integrity of the Company's
financial reports, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the
qualifications and independence of the independent registered public accounting
firm, both the internal and external audit process, and internal controls over
financial reporting. The Audit Committee reviews and recommends to the Board

PricewaterhouseCoopers required by applicable requirements of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding the independent registered public
accounting firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning
independence and discussed with the independent registered public accounting

correspondingly increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock

Articles to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock and Common

become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of
State of the State of Minnesota. The proposed Articles of Amendment are attached
as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The only changes to the Company&#8217;s

those numeric changes required to reflect the increase of the amount of
authorized capital stock and of Common Stock as proposed above.</font></div>

reserved and available for issuance to satisfy the requirements of the Company&#8217;s
stock plans. As of December 31, 2008, no shares of the Company&#8217;s capital stock
other than Common Stock were issued. The Board will have full authority to issue
the entire amount of additional authorized, but unissued, Common Stock for such
proper corporate purposes and on such terms as it may determine, without further
action on the part of the shareholders. However, any such issuance would be
subject to the requirements of applicable law, governmental or regulatory
bodies, and of any exchange on which any securities of the Company may be
listed. The additional shares of Common Stock, if authorized, would have the
same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding.

proposed amendment has been prompted by business and financial considerations
and not by anti-takeover considerations. Nevertheless, we are required by the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to make the following disclosures regarding the
potential anti-takeover effect of the proposed increase in the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock. These authorized but unissued shares could (within
the limits imposed by applicable law and NYSE rules) be issued in one or more
transactions that could make a change of control of the Company more difficult,
and therefore more unlikely. The additional authorized shares could be used to
discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company by diluting
the voting power of shares then outstanding or increasing the voting power of
persons who would support the Board in a potential takeover situation, including
by preventing or delaying a proposed business combination that is opposed by the
Board although perceived to be desirable by some shareholders. The Board is not
aware of any attempt to take control of the Company.</font></div>

believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
will be advantageous to the Company and its shareholders because it will provide
the Company with added flexibility in effecting financings, acquisitions, stock
splits, stock dividends, stock distributions and other transactions involving
the use of stock. The Company has no present intention to issue any of the newly
authorized shares of Common Stock, except for issuances of the Common Stock
which may be made in connection with the Company&#8217;s Equity Issuance Program
described in Note 9 to the Annual Report, Invest Direct&#174; (its direct stock
purchase and dividend reinvestment plan), and employee benefits plans. Except in
relation to such programs and plans, neither the Company nor any of its officers
