Our board of directors currently consists of eleven directors. Our certificate of incorporation divides our board
of directors into three classes: Class 1, whose terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in
2006, Class 2, whose terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2007, and Class 3, whose
terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2008. Daniel A. DeMatteo, Michael N. Rosen and Edward
A. Volkwein are in Class 1; R. Richard Fontaine, James J. Kim, Stephanie M. Shern and Jerome L. Davis are in
Class 2; and Leonard Riggio, Stanley Steinberg, Gerald R. Szczepanski and Lawrence S. Zilavy are in Class 3. At
each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms will then expire will be elected to
serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election.
