&#147;Company&#148;) bylaws, the Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) of the Company unanimously adopted a resolution to reduce the size of the Board from 14 to 11 directors, effective upon the following resignations. In order to effectuate
the reduction in the size of the Board, each of Webster L. Benham, Andrew K. Mittag and Louis S. Massimo resigned from the Board and all committees thereof, effective as of the end of the Board meetings on March&nbsp;3, 2016. The directors who
resigned did so voluntarily in order to reduce the size of the Board after discussions about board size and composition among the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board members. None of these resignations involved any
disagreement with the Board, the Company or its management on any matter relating to the Company&#146;s operations, policies or practices. In connection with their resignations, each of Mr.&nbsp;Benham, Mr.&nbsp;Mittag and Mr.&nbsp;Massimo will be
paid an additional six months in director fees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to achieve a more equal balance of membership among classes of directors as required by the
restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, the Board of the Company requested that one of the directors from the class with a term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders move to the class with a term expiring at
the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders and one of the directors from the class with a term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders move to the class with a term expiring at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, on
March&nbsp;3, 2016, Richard Sanders, Jr. resigned as a director from the class with a term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and was immediately appointed to the Board as a director to the class with a term expiring at the 2016
annual meeting of stockholders, and Marran H. Ogilvie resigned as a director from the class with a term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and was immediately appointed to the Board as a director to the class with a term expiring at
the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. The resignations and reappointments of Ms.&nbsp;Ogilvie and Mr.&nbsp;Sanders were effected solely to rebalance the Board classes and were not due to any disagreement with the Board, the Company or its
management on any matter relating to the Company&#146;s operations, policies or practices. For all other purposes, including vesting and other compensation matters, Ms.&nbsp;Ogilvie and Mr.&nbsp;Sanders&#146; service on the Board is deemed to have
continued uninterrupted. Ms.&nbsp;Ogilvie will continue to serve on the Company&#146;s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and will replace Mr.&nbsp;Benham as its Chair. </P>
