for re-election. Kesop Yun and Christopher Russell have each decided to focus on other opportunities and will not run for re-election and will resign, respectively. I wish to personally thank Messrs. Nogueira, Yun and Russell for their years of
excellent service to the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, this year, in addition to seeking your support for the re-election of a Class

nominees for the Class I, Class II and Class&nbsp;III Directors as described in the proxy statement. </FONT></P>
