At the Meeting, the Company proposes to elect nine directors to hold office until the 2013 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors have been elected and have qualified. The nine
nominees for election at the Meeting are listed below. Eight of the nominees are currently serving as a
director of the Company and have consented to be named as a nominee. Mr. Albrecht, the other
nominee, previously served as a director of the Company from 2003 through 2009 and has also
consented to be named as a nominee. If, prior to the Meeting, any of the nominees becomes unable to

possess, as described in detail below, and that the experience and qualifications of each nominee
compliments the experience and qualifications of the other nominees. The experience and qualifications
of each nominee, including information regarding the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and
skills that led the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that
