By
letter
dated May 10, 2007, L. Douglas Lippert, a director of Registrant, resigned
from
the Board of Directors for personal reasons, effective immediately. Mr. Lippert
also withdrew as a nominee for re-election at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
to be held on May 31, 2007. There was no disagreement between Mr. Lippert and
Registrant on any matter relating to Registrant’s operations, policies or
practices. Registrant reported this event on Form 8-K filed May 14,
2007.
On
May
18, 2007, Registrant’s Board of Directors, in accordance with Registrant’s
by-laws, elected Jason D. Lippert to fill the vacancy on the Board. Jason D.
Lippert is the son of L. Douglas Lippert.
Jason
D.
Lippert, age 35, has been President and Chief Executive Officer of Lippert
Components, a subsidiary of Registrant, since February 5, 2003. From May 2000,
Mr. Lippert was Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Lippert
Components, and from 1998 until 2000, Mr. Lippert served as Regional Director
of
Operations of Lippert Components. Effective January 1, 2007, Mr. Lippert was
appointed Chairman of Lippert Components upon the resignation of L. Douglas
Lippert as Chairman when his employment agreement expired.
There
is
no arrangement or understanding between Jason D. Lippert and any other person
pursuant to which he was selected as a director. As an employee-director, Mr.
Lippert is not expected to be named to any committee of the Board of Directors,
and will not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director.
Additional
information about Jason D. Lippert, including his employment agreement, 2006
compensation, benefits, perquisites, ownership of Registrant’s equity
securities, payments on termination of employment, transactions with related
persons, and other matters is incorporated herein by reference to Registrant’s
Proxy Statement, dated April 18, 2007, with respect to the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on May 31, 2007.
Because
L. Douglas Lippert withdrew as a nominee for re-election as a director at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 31, 2007, the Board of
Directors has proposed Jason D. Lippert to be elected as a director to fill
the
vacancy on the Board. Pursuant to the authority granted to the persons named
as
proxies in the Proxy Statement, such proxies will vote for Jason D. Lippert
to
serve as a director of Registrant until the 2008 annual election or until his
successor is elected and qualifies.
