Material Changes
On June 28, 2007, the Company terminated an agreement dated November 4, 2005, with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. This agreement previously granted Mr. Frederick G. Wasserman the right to attend and participate in board of directors meetings as a non-voting observer and to receive information provided to directors. The termination was effective immediately.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The termination was a direct response to Wynnefield's filing of an amended Form 13D, which announced an intention to nominate Mr. Wasserman and one other individual for election to the Company's board of directors at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders. This action signals an active proxy contest or shareholder activism scenario.
