On June 20, 2016, Richard M. Gabrys and David K. Hehl each advised our Nominating and Governance Committee that they intend to retire from the Board of Directors and therefore do not intend to stand for re-election at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting. Mr. Gabrys and Mr. Hehl both indicated that their retirement from the board was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
