Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management has initiated a national search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Horn's base salary has been increased to compensate for additional duties, though he is not anticipated to be a "named executive officer" under SEC proxy rules. There is no employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Horn; his tenure is contingent upon the selection of a permanent CFO. The filing notes no disagreements or unusual items related to the departure.
