Perry Partners, L.P. and Perry Partners International, Inc. are together the last remaining "Sponsors” of the Company from the time of the Company's initial public offering in November of 2006. The Company may receive consulting and advisory services provided by the Sponsors (principals or employees of such Sponsors are directors of the Company) with respect to the organization of the companies, employee benefit and compensation arrangements, and other matters, and no fee is charged for these consulting and advisory services.
In order for the Sponsors to provide such advisory and consulting services, the Company provides reports, financial data and other information to the Sponsors. This permits them to consult with and advise the Company’s management on matters relating to its operations, company affairs and finances. In addition, this permits them to visit and inspect any of the Company’s properties and facilities.
