On December 20, 2011, at a meeting of the Old Stone Corporation Board of Directors, John E. Bucci, Jr. was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors.

At the same time, the Company’s Board of Directors accepted the resignations of James V. Rosati as the Company’s President and that of Bernard V.

The Board appointed Mr. Bucci to serve as the Company’s President and Treasurer.
