On July 1, 2016, the Board elected Julian S. Gangolli to serve as a member of the Board for the term expiring at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

In accordance with the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, Mr. Gangolli is entitled to receive a $39,500 annual retainer for service as a Board member and a $7,500 annual retainer for service as a member of the Audit Committee.
