Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses on corporate events rather than financial performance data.
Material Changes
- Board Composition: Director Daniel K.K. Tseung will not stand for re-election when his term expires at the 2010 annual meeting. The Board will reduce its size effective upon the expiration of his term.
- Reason for Departure: Mr. Tseung cited conflicting time commitments and a significant reduction in 2009 of the Company stock holdings by the bond-holder group that originally designated him.
- Future Role: Mr. Tseung has agreed to remain available as an advisor to the Company, specifically regarding issues relevant to Asia.
- Meeting Schedule Change: The 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled for April 22, 2010. This marks a shift from the traditional December timing, which was previously required by Charter restrictions that have now lapsed.
