        &#8220;Company&#8221;), provided notice that he has decided not to stand for re-election as a director at the end of his current term, which will expire at the Company&#8217;s 2019 Annual Shareholder&#8217;s Meeting in September, due to other commitments.&#160; For the
        avoidance of doubt, Mr. Plummer&#8217;s decision to not seek re-election was not due to any disagreements with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to the Company&#8217;s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Plummer presently serves on the Audit
        Committee and the Technology Committee of the Board.&#160; Mr. Plummer has served on the Company&#8217;s Board since 2003.</font></div>
