Material Changes

- Director Resignation: Joel S. Marcus resigned as a director and audit committee member.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Reason for Departure: Mr. Marcus resigned due to voting guidelines adopted by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC, which limit CEOs from serving on more than two additional public company boards. The Company states the resignation is not due to any disagreement regarding operations, policies, or practices.
Remediation Plan: The board of directors is actively searching for an independent director to replace Mr. Marcus to cure the listing deficiencies.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
