Mr. Bakewell will serve on the Board as a Class I director for a term expiring at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Mr. Bakewell has been the chief financial officer of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. since July 2014. Mr. Bakewell previously served as the chief financial officer of Interline Brands, Inc. from June 2013 to May 2014 and as the executive vice president and chief financial officer of RegionalCare Hospital Partners from January 2010 to December 2011.
