SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
The members of our Board of Directors, our executive officers and persons who hold more than 10% of our outstanding
common stock are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, which requires them to file
reports with respect to their ownership of our common stock and their transactions in such common stock. Based solely upon a
review of the copies of Section 16(a) reports that we have received from such persons or entities for transactions in our
common stock and their common stock holdings for fiscal 2014, we believe that all reporting requirements under Section 16(a)
for such fiscal year were met in a timely manner by our directors and executive officers, except for one late Form 4 filing for
each of Eugene A. Castagna and Susan E. Lattmann (withholding of shares upon vesting to satisfy tax obligations) that was
due on March 2, 2015, which is part of fiscal 2015.
HOUSEHOLDING
Unless we have received contrary instructions, we are mailing one copy of the proxy materials (other than the proxy card) to
record holders who have the same address and last name. Such record holders will continue to receive separate proxy cards.
We refer to this practice as householding.
If you are a record holder who participates in householding and wish to receive separate copies of the proxy materials for the
2015 Annual Meeting or future Annual Meetings, then please contact the Secretary of the Company by writing to 650 Liberty
Avenue, Union, New Jersey 07083 or calling 908-688-0888. We will promptly deliver separate copies of the proxy materials for
the 2015 Annual Meeting upon receiving your request.
If you are a record holder who is eligible for householding and do not currently participate in the program but would like to,
then please contact the Secretary of the Company at the address or phone number indicated above.
If you are a beneficial owner, then please contact your stockbroker, bank or other holder of record to receive one or separate
copies of the proxy materials.
