Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership
Reporting Compliance PROXY STATEMENT
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s
directors, executive officers and persons who own more
than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, as well as
certain affiliates of such persons, to file with the SEC
and the NYSE initial reports of ownership and reports of
changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock.
Based solely on the Company’s review of the reports that
have been filed by or on behalf of such persons in this
regard and written representations from our executive
officers and directors that no other reports were required,
during and for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2014, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to the Company’s directors,
executive officers, and greater than 10% stockholders
were met, except that one Form 4 filing was inadvertently
filed late for Mr. Almeida due to a clerical error.
