Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) On July 26, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to increase the size of the Board of Directors from eight directors to nine directors. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors elected Kenneth C. Dahlberg to the Board of Directors, effective immediately, to serve until the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting and the election and qualification of his successor or, if earlier, until his death or resignation or removal from the Board of Directors.

On July 26, 2011, the Board of Directors also appointed Mr. Dahlberg as a member of the Audit and Legal Committee and as a member of the Compensation and Leadership Committee.

Mr. Dahlberg will receive the standard compensation received by non-employee directors. This compensation arrangement was described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on March 15, 2011 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As disclosed in the definitive proxy statement, a non-employee director will be granted deferred stock units, pro-rated based on the number of months served with a value of $10,000 per month, divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of election.

The press release announcing Mr. Dahlberg’s election is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
