    broker non-vote occurs when a nominee, such as a broker or bank,

    On February&#160;24, 2009, our Board of Directors approved and
    adopted Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company to
    make certain changes to our previous bylaws. Pursuant to our
    Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, stockholders wishing to
    submit proposals or director nominations that are not to be
    included in our proxy materials must have given timely notice
    thereof in writing to our Corporate Secretary. To be timely for
    the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you must notify our
    Corporate Secretary, in writing, no earlier than
    <B>[November&#160;27, 2009]</B>, and no later than

    which contain additional requirements about advance notice of
    stockholder proposals and director nominations, including the
    different notice submission date requirements in the event that
    we mail out the notice for our 2010 Annual Meeting of
    Stockholders before <B>[February&#160;25, 2010] </B>or after

    chairman of the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may
    determine, if the facts warrant, that a matter has not been
    properly brought before the meeting and, therefore, may not be
    considered at the meeting.

    Corporate Governance Committee is actively attempting to fill
    with a qualified candidate. Directors are elected for a term of

    attracting and retaining the services of executive officers,
    directors and other key employees. During our fiscal year ended
    December&#160;31, 2007, no equity incentive awards were granted
    under the Original Plan, in part due to certain 1940 Act
    restrictions which disallow the issuance of certain types of
    compensation to a business development company&#146;s employees
    and non-employee directors without having first obtained
    exemptive relief. In 2007, we filed a request with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, for such
    exemptive relief with respect to our ability to issue restricted
    stock to our employees and non-employee directors. On
    March&#160;18, 2008 we received an order from

    The following is a summary of the material features of the
    Amended and Restated Plan. It may not contain all of the
    information important to you. The Amended and Restated Plan
    includes provisions allowing the issuance of restricted stock to
    all key employees and directors. Restricted stock refers to an
    award of stock that is subject to forfeiture restrictions and
    may not be transferred until such restrictions have lapsed. The
    Amended and Restated Plan will also allow us to issue options to
    our key employees in the future should our Board and
    compensation committee choose to do so.

    Under the Amended and Restated Plan, up to 900,000&#160;shares
    of our common stock are authorized for issuance. Participants in
    the Amended and Restated Plan who are employees and employee
    directors may receive awards of options to purchase shares of
    common stock or grants of restricted stock, as determined by the
    Board. Participants who are non-employee directors may receive
    awards of restricted stock in accordance with certain parameters
    as discussed below under &#147;Restricted Stock Awards to
    Non-Employee Directors.&#148; The basis of such participation is
    to provide incentives to our employees and directors in order to
    attract and retain the services of qualified professionals.

    Options granted under the Amended and Restated Plan entitle the
    optionee, upon exercise, to purchase shares of common stock at a
    specified exercise price per share. Options must have a per
    share exercise price of no less than the fair market value of a
    share of stock on the date of the grant, subject to forfeiture
    provisions as determined by the Board. The exercise period of
    each stock option awarded will expire on a date determined by
    the Board, such date to be specified in the stock option award
    agreement; however, the Plan also states that no stock option
    award will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from
    the date such stock option was granted.

    The Amended and Restated Plan permits the issuance of restricted
    stock to employees and directors consistent with such terms and
    conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate, subject to the
    limitations set forth in the plan. With respect to awards issued
    to our employees and officers, the Board will determine the time
    or times at which such shares of restricted stock will become
    exercisable and the terms on which such shares will remain
    exercisable. Shares granted pursuant to a restricted stock award
    will not be transferable until such shares have vested in
    accordance with the terms of the award agreement, unless the
    transfer is by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

    The Amended and Restated Plan provides that our non-employee
    directors each receive an automatic grant of restricted stock at
    the beginning of each one-year term of service on the Board, for
    which forfeiture restrictions lapse one year from the grant
    date. The number of shares granted to each non-employee director
    in 2008 was the equivalent of $30,000 worth of shares, taken at
    the market value at the close of the Nasdaq Global Market on the
    date of grant, which historically has been the date of our
    annual stockholders meeting. Going forward in 2009 and beyond,
    the grants of restricted stock to non-employee directors under
    the Amended and Restated Plan will be automatic (that is, the
    grants will equal $30,000 worth of restricted stock each year),
    and the terms thereunder will not be changed without SEC
    approval. Shares granted pursuant to a restricted stock award
    will not be transferable until such shares have vested in
    accordance with the terms of the award agreement, unless the
    transfer is by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

    We designed each NEO&#146;s compensation package to
    appropriately reward the NEO for his contribution to the
    Company. Our compensation philosophy has not historically been,
    and going forward will not be, a mechanical process, and our
    compensation committee will continue to use its judgment and
    experience, working in conjunction with our chief executive
    officer and an independent compensation consultant, to determine
    the appropriate mix of compensation for each individual. Cash
    compensation consisting of base salary and discretionary cash
    bonuses tied to achievement of performance goals set by the
    compensation committee are intended to incentivize NEOs to
    remain with us in their roles and work hard to achieve our
    goals. Stock-based compensation in the form of restricted stock
    was awarded based on individual performance expectations set by
    the compensation committee.

    To assess the competitiveness of our executive compensation

    performance and compensation levels. This comparative group

    Our analysis centered around key elements of compensation
    practices within the BDC industry in general and, more
    specifically, compensation practices at internally managed BDCs
    closer in asset size, typical investment size, typical
    investment type, market capitalization, and general business
    scope to our Company. Items we reviewed included, but were not
    necessarily limited to, base compensation, bonus compensation
    and restricted stock awards. In addition to actual levels of
    compensation, we also analyzed the approach other BDCs were
    taking with regard to their compensation practices. Items we
    reviewed included, but were not necessarily limited to, the use
    of employment agreements for certain employees, the targeted mix
    of cash and equity compensation, the use of a third party
    compensation consultant, and certain corporate and executive
    performance measures established to achieve total returns for

    Using the above data, we ranked below the median of the
    comparative group in market capitalization, below the median in
    net income, and in the lower quartile in assets and number of
    employees. Although each of the comparative companies is not
    exactly comparable in size, scope and operations, the
    compensation committee believes that they were the most relevant
    comparable companies available with disclosed executive
    compensation data, and they provide a good representation of
    competitive compensation levels for our executives.

    We believe that the alignment of (i)&#160;a company&#146;s
    business plan, (ii)&#160;its stockholders expectations and
    (iii)&#160;its employee compensation is essential to long term
    business success in the interest of our stockholders and
    employees. We typically make three to seven year investments in
    privately held businesses. Our business plan involves taking on
    investment risk over an extended period of time, and a premium
    is placed on our ability to maintain stability of net asset
    values and continuity of earnings to pass through to
    stockholders in the form of recurring dividends. Our strategy is
    to generate income and capital gains from our portfolio of
    investments in the debt and equity securities of our customers.
    This income supports the payment of dividends to our
    stockholders. Therefore, a key element of our return to
    stockholders is in the form of current income through the
    payment of dividends. This recurring payout requires a
    methodical asset acquisition approach and active monitoring and
    management of our investment portfolio over time. A meaningful
    part of our employee base is dedicated to the maintenance of
    asset values and expansion of this recurring revenue to support
    and grow dividends.

    We analyzed the competitiveness of the previously described
    components of compensation individually, as well as in total, in
    conjunction with our peer group of BDCs listed above. Our
    comparative analysis indicated that in aggregate, for 2008, our
    base salaries plus target bonuses resulted in total annual cash
    compensation below the market median. We believe this is
    primarily due to the fact that the Company is smaller than the
    other BDCs in our peer group. As the Company grows and matures
    we would expect our compensation levels would, over time, more
    closely approximate the median of our peer group.

    Our compensation committee may in its sole discretion (upon

    our common stock (including incentive stock options and
    non-qualified stock options). We expect that, if granted,
    options will represent a fixed number of shares of our common

    market value of our common stock on the date of such grant, and
    will be exercisable, or &#147;vested&#148;, at some later time
    after grant. Upon any stock option grant, its exercise price
    will not be changed absent specific SEC approval that we may do
    so. The &#147;fair market value&#148; will be defined as either
    (i)&#160;the closing sales price of the our common stock on the
    Nasdaq Global Market, or any other such exchange on which the
    shares are traded, on such date, (ii)&#160;in the absence of
    reported sales on such date, the closing sales price on the

    on such date, the fair market value as determined, in good

    that date. Some stock options granted by our compensation
    committee may vest simply by the holder remaining with the
    Company for a period of time, and some may vest based on meeting
    certain performance goals. We anticipate that our options will
    be valued for financial reporting purposes using the Black
    Scholes valuation method, and charges to earnings will be taken

    Our Board of Directors and sole stockholder approved
    Triangle&#146;s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Original
    Plan, effective February&#160;13, 2007, for the purpose of
    attracting and retaining the services of executive officers,
    directors and other key employees. During our fiscal year ended
    December&#160;31, 2007, no equity incentive awards were granted
    under the Original Plan, in part due to certain 1940 Act
    restrictions which disallow the issuance of certain types of
    compensation to a business development company&#146;s
    non-employee directors and employees without having first
    obtained exemptive relief. In 2007, we filed a request with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, for such
    exemptive relief with respect to our ability to issue restricted
    stock to our employees and non-employee directors. On
    March&#160;18, 2008 we received an order from the SEC
    authorizing such issuance of restricted stock to our employees
    and non-employee directors pursuant to the terms of the Amended
    and Restated Plan and as otherwise set forth in the exemptive
    order. In 2008, our Board approved, and the stockholders voted
    to approve, the Triangle Capital Corporation Amended and
    Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Amended and Restated
    Plan. During our fiscal year ended December&#160;31, 2008, we
    granted restricted share awards to our officers, directors and
    key employees in accordance with the Amended and Restated Plan.

    The following is a summary of the material features of the
    Amended and Restated Plan. It may not contain all of the
    information important to you. The Amended and Restated Plan
    includes provisions allowing the issuance of restricted stock to
    all key employees and directors. Restricted stock refers to an
    award of stock that is subject to forfeiture restrictions and
    may not be transferred until such restrictions have lapsed. The
    Amended and Restated Plan will also allow us to issue options to
    our key employees in the future should our Board and
    compensation committee choose to do so.

    Under the Amended and Restated Plan, up to 900,000&#160;shares
    of our common stock are authorized for issuance. Participants in
    the Amended and Restated Plan who are employees may receive
    awards of options to purchase shares of common stock or grants
    of restricted stock, as determined by the Board. Participants
    who are non-employee directors may receive awards of restricted
    stock in accordance with certain parameters as discussed below.
    The basis of such participation is to provide incentives to our
    employees and directors in order to attract and retain the
    services of qualified professionals.

    Options granted under the Amended and Restated Plan entitle the
    optionee, upon exercise, to purchase shares of common stock at a
    specified exercise price per share. Options must have a per
    share exercise price of no less than the fair market value of a
    share of stock on the date of the grant, subject to forfeiture
    provisions as determined by the Board. The exercise period of
    each stock option awarded will expire on a date determined by
    the Board, such date to be specified in the stock option award
    agreement; however, the Plan also states that no stock option
    award will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from
    the date such stock option was granted.

    The Amended and Restated Plan permits the issuance of restricted
    stock to employees and directors consistent with such terms and
    conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate, subject to the
    limitations set forth in the plan. With respect to awards issued
    to our employees, the Board will determine the time or times at
    which such shares of restricted stock will become exercisable
    and the terms on which such shares will remain exercisable.
    Shares granted pursuant to a restricted stock award will not be
    transferable until such shares have vested in accordance with
    the terms of the award agreement, unless the transfer is by will
    or by the laws of descent and distribution.

    The Amended and Restated Plan provides that our non-employee
    directors each receive an automatic grant of restricted stock at
    the beginning of each one-year term of service on the Board, for
    which forfeiture restrictions lapse one year from the grant
    date. The number of shares granted to each non-employee director
    in 2008 was the equivalent of $30,000 worth of shares, taken at
    the market value at the close of the Nasdaq Global Market on the
    date of grant, which historically has been the date of our
    annual stockholders meeting. Going forward in 2009 and beyond,
    the grants of restricted stock to non-employee directors under
    the Amended and Restated Plan will be automatic (that is, the
    grants will equal $30,000 worth of restricted stock each year),
    and the terms thereunder will not be changed without SEC
    approval. Shares granted pursuant to a

    provide for a two year term. The initial base salaries under the
    employment agreements for Messrs.&#160;Tucker, Burgess, and
    Lilly were $265,000, $240,000, and $240,000, respectively.

    In addition, in 2008, each executive officer was eligible to
    receive an annual bonus of up to a maximum of 100% of the
    executive officer&#146;s 2008 base salary for achieving certain
    performance objectives. Our compensation committee established
    such performance objectives, as well as the bonus awarded to
    each executive officer, the details of which are discussed in
    the Compensation Discussion&#160;&#038; Analysis section above.

    After recent consideration, our board of directors and
    compensation committee determined that it would be in the best
    interests of the Company and our stockholders if these
    employment agreements were not renewed for additional one-year
    terms. Accordingly, on February&#160;20, 2009, each executive
    officer affirmatively waived his non-renewal notice rights set
    forth in his employment agreement, and the Company formally
    acknowledged such waivers.

    Effective February&#160;21, 2009, none of the executive officers
    is employed by us pursuant to an employment agreement. Rather,
    each executive officer is currently employed by us on an at-will
    basis. Each executive officer will continue to be paid his
    respective salary set forth in his previously effective
    employment agreement (as described herein) and is eligible to
    receive cash bonuses and equity incentives in the discretion of
    our board of directors and compensation committee.

    The intent of this particular provision in each of our 2008
    executive officers&#146; employment agreements was to allow the
    executive officer the opportunity to evaluate his position with
    the Company one year after a change in control had occurred, in

    the best interests of the Company and the executive officer for

    Under specified covered transactions involving a change in
    control, if an NEO had terminated his employment with us within
    two (2)&#160;years following such change in control, or if we
    had terminated or given the NEO notice of non-renewal of the
    NEO&#146;s employment within the two years commencing with a
    change in control, he would have received a severance package
    beginning on the date of termination. The severance package
    would have included monthly payments equal to one-twelfth of
    (i)&#160;the NEO&#146;s annual salary at that time plus
    (ii)&#160;the NEO&#146;s bonus compensation as described in the
    employment agreement, and (iii)&#160;the Company would have
    continued to provide the NEO with all of the benefits provided
    to him immediately prior to the termination, as described in the
    employment agreement. The severance package would have continued
    to be in effect for thirty-six months.

    In addition, a separate severance package existed in the event
    the NEO&#146;s employment had been terminated as a result of
    death or disability, or in the event that the Company had
    terminated the NEO&#146;s employment outside of the two-year
    period after a specified covered transaction involving a change
    in control. The same severance package referenced in the
    immediately preceding paragraph would have been provided to the
    NEO, except that the severance package would have only continued

    Each NEO&#146;s employment agreement also included a right to
    allow the executive officer the opportunity to evaluate his
    position with the Company for a one-month period beginning at
    the end of one year after a change in control had occurred, in
    order to determine whether at that time it would have been in
    the best interests of the Company and the NEO for the NEO to
    continue serving in his then current position. If the NEO had
    been dissatisfied with his responsibilities under the management
    after the change in control had occurred, he could have
    terminated his employment with the Company without good reason
    and still would have received a severance package. The severance
    package would have included monthly payments equal to
    one-twelfth of (i)&#160;the NEO&#146;s annual salary at that
    time plus (ii)&#160;the NEO&#146;s bonus compensation as
    described in the employment agreement, and (iii)&#160;the
    Company would have continued to provide the NEO with all of the
    benefits provided to him immediately prior to the termination,
    as described in the employment agreement. The severance package
    would have continued to be in effect for thirty-six months.

    Finally, if we had failed to renew any NEO&#146;s employment
    agreement outside of the two-year period after a specified
    covered transaction involving a change in control (thereby
    terminating such NEO&#146;s employment with us), any severance
    payment or benefit would have been payable at the absolute
    discretion of the Board.

    In addition to severance compensation, each NEO&#146;s
    employment agreement provided noncompetition, nonsolicitation,
    non-interference and confidentiality covenants in the event an
    NEO&#146;s employment had been terminated. Under the applicable
    employment agreements, for a period of two years after an
    NEO&#146;s employment with Triangle terminated for any reason
    whatsoever, the NEO would have been prohibited from competing
    with our Company, soliciting our employees and interfering with
    our business relationships. Further, each executive officer was
    required to keep confidential, whether during or after
    employment, all of our Company&#146;s &#147;confidential
    information&#148;, as such term was defined in each employment
    agreement.

    After recent consideration, our board of directors and
    compensation committee determined that it would be in the best
    interests of the Company and our stockholders if these
    employment agreements were not renewed for additional one-year
    terms; however, we had not given any of our executive officers
    the requisite three-month notice in accordance with the terms of
    their employment agreements. To that end, Messrs.&#160;Tucker,
    Burgess and Lilly were in agreement with us that non-renewal of
    their employment agreements is desirable, and accordingly, on
    February&#160;20, 2009, each executive officer affirmatively
    waived his non-renewal notice rights set forth in his employment
    agreement, and we formally acknowledged such waivers.

    respective salary set forth in his previously effective

    The Company is a closed-end investment company that has elected
    to be treated as a business development company, or BDC, under
    the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act prohibits the Company from selling
    shares of its common stock at a price below the current net
    asset value per share of such stock, with certain exceptions.
    One such exception would permit the Company to sell shares of
    its common stock during the next year at a price below the
    Company&#146;s then current net asset value per share if its
    stockholders approve such a sale and the Company&#146;s
    directors make certain determinations. Pursuant to this
    provision, the Company is seeking the approval of its common
    stockholders so that it may, in one or more public or private
    offerings of its common stock, sell shares of its common stock
    at a price below its then current net asset value per share,
    subject to certain conditions discussed below. If approved, the
    authorization would be effective for a period expiring on the
    earlier of the anniversary of the date of this Annual Meeting
    and the date of the Company&#146;s 2010 Annual Meeting of
    Stockholders, which is expected to be held in May 2010.

    Generally, equity securities sold in public securities offerings
    are priced based on market prices, rather than net asset value
    per share. The Company is seeking the approval of a majority of
    its common stockholders of record to offer and sell shares of
    its common stock at prices that, net of underwriting discount or
    commissions, may be less than net asset value so as to permit
    the flexibility in pricing that market conditions generally
    require.

    We believe that market conditions will continue to provide
    opportunities to invest new capital at potentially attractive
    returns. Over the past several months, U.S.&#160;credit markets,
    including many lending institutions, have experienced
    significant difficulties resulting in large part from the
    default in payments on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">sub-prime</FONT>
    residential mortgages and concerns generally about the decline
    in the U.S.&#160;economy. This has contributed to significant
    stock price volatility for capital providers such as our Company
    and has made access to capital more challenging for many smaller
    businesses. However, the change in credit market conditions also
    has had beneficial effects for capital providers like us because
    small businesses are selling for lower prices, willing to pay
    higher interest rates and accepting more contractual terms that
    we believe will be favorable to us. Accordingly, for firms that
    continue to have access to capital, we believe that the current

    favorable terms than have been available in recent periods. Our
    ability to take advantage of these opportunities, however, is
    dependent upon our access to equity capital.

    As a BDC and RIC, the Company is dependent on its ability to
    raise capital through the issuance of common stock. RICs
    generally must distribute substantially all of their earnings to
    stockholders as dividends in order to achieve pass-through tax
    treatment, which prevents the Company from using those earnings
    to support new investments. Further, BDCs must maintain a debt
    to equity ratio of less than 1:1, which requires the Company to
    finance its investments with at least as much equity as debt in
    the aggregate. To continue to build the Company&#146;s
    investment portfolio, and thereby support maintenance and growth
    of the Company&#146;s dividends, the Company endeavors to
    maintain consistent access to capital through the public and
    private equity markets enabling it to take advantage of
    investment opportunities as they arise.

    Although the Company&#146;s common stock has had a limited
    trading history, it has traded both at a premium and at a
    discount in relation to its net asset value. The possibilities
    that shares of our common stock will trade at a discount from
    net asset value or at premiums that are unsustainable over the
    long term are separate and distinct from the risk that our net
    asset value will decrease. It is not possible to predict whether
    any shares of our common stock issued in the future will trade
    at, above, or below net asset value. The following table lists
    the high and low sales prices for our common stock, and the
    sales price as a percentage of net asset value. On

    The unprecedented nature of the current credit market
    dislocation and uncertainty surrounding the U.S.&#160;economy
    has led to significant stock market volatility, particularly
    with respect to the stock of financial services companies.
    During times of increased price volatility, the Company&#146;s
    common stock may periodically trade below its net asset value,
    which is not uncommon for BDCs like the Company. As noted above,
    however, the current market dislocation has created, and we
    believe will continue to create, favorable opportunities to
    invest, including opportunities that, all else being equal, may
    increase net asset value over the longer-term, even if financed
    with the issuance of common stock below net asset value. The
    Company expects that it will be periodically presented with
    attractive opportunities that require the Company to make an
    investment commitment quickly. The Company may be unable to
    capitalize on investment opportunities presented to it unless it
    is able to quickly raise capital. Stockholder approval of the
    proposal to sell shares below net asset value subject to the
    conditions detailed below will provide the Company with the
    flexibility to invest in such opportunities.

    The Board of Directors believes that having the flexibility to
    issue its common stock below net asset value in certain
    instances is in the best interests of stockholders. If the
    Company were unable to access the capital markets as attractive
    investment opportunities arise, the Company&#146;s ability to
    grow over time and continue to pay steady or increasing
    dividends to stockholders could be adversely affected. It could
    also have the effect of forcing the Company to sell assets that
    the Company would not otherwise sell, and such sales could occur
    at times that are disadvantageous to sell.

    Before voting on this proposal or giving proxies with regard to
    this matter, common stockholders should consider the potentially
    dilutive effect of the issuance of shares of the Company&#146;s
    common stock at less than net asset value per share on the net
    asset value per outstanding share of common stock. Any sale of
    common stock at a price below net asset value would result in an
    immediate dilution to existing common stockholders. Since under
    this proposal shares of the Company&#146;s common stock could be
    issued at a price that is substantially below the net asset
    value per share, the dilution could be substantial. This
    dilution would include reduction in the net asset value per
    shares as a result of the issuance of shares at a price below
    the net asset value per share and a proportionately greater
    decrease in a stockholder&#146;s interest in the earnings and
    assets of the Company and voting interest in the Company than
    the increase in the assets of the Company resulting from such
    issuance. The Board of Directors of the Company will consider
    the potential dilutive affect of the issuance of shares at a
    price below the net asset value per share when considering
    whether to authorize any such issuance.

    The 1940 Act establishes a connection between common share sale
    price and net asset value because, when stock is sold at a sale
    price below net asset value per share, the resulting increase in
    the number of outstanding shares is not accompanied by a
    proportionate increase in the net assets of the issuer. Further,
    if current stockholders of the Company do not purchase any
    shares to maintain their percentage interest, regardless of
    whether such offering is above or below the then current net
    asset value, their voting power will be diluted. For an
    illustration on the potential dilutive effect of an offering of
    our common stock at a price below net asset value, please see
    the chart below under the heading &#147;Example of Dilutive
    Effect of the Issuance of Shares&#160;Below Net Asset
    Value.&#148;

    Any sale of substantial amounts of our common stock or other
    securities in the open market may adversely affect the market
    price of our common stock and may adversely affect our ability
    to obtain future financing in the capital markets. In addition,
    future sales of our common stock to the public may create a
    potential market overhang, which is the existence of a large
    block of shares readily available for sale that could lead the
    market to discount the value of shares held by other investors.

    registered accounting firm. The policy requires that the audit
    committee pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed
    by the independent registered accounting firm in order to assure
    that the provision of such service does not impair the
    firm&#146;s independence. Our audit committee formally adopted
    this pre-approval policy on March&#160;12, 2008. Prior to
    March&#160;12, 2008, our audit committee specifically reviewed
    and approved Ernst&#160;&#038; Young LLP&#146;s services between
    February&#160;21, 2007 and December&#160;31, 2007.

    Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services
    that have not received general pre-approval must be submitted to
    the audit committee for specific pre-approval, irrespective of
    the amount, and cannot commence until such approval has been
    granted. Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly
    scheduled meetings of the audit committee. However, the audit
    committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of
    its members. The member or members to whom such authority is
    delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions to the audit
    committee at its next scheduled meeting. The audit committee
    does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services
    performed by the independent registered accounting firm to
    management.
