PROXY STATEMENT
81
OTHER MATTERS
Section 16(a) Benefi cial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, our directors and executive offi cers are required to fi le with the
Securities and Exchange Commission reports of holdings and changes in benefi cial ownership of company stock.
We have reviewed copies of reports provided for the company, as well as other records and information. Based on
that review, we concluded that all reports were timely fi led.
Other Information Regarding the Company’s Proxy Solicitation
We will pay all expenses in connection with our solicitation of proxies. We will pay brokers, nominees, fi ducia-
ries, or other custodians their reasonable expenses for sending proxy material to and obtaining instructions from
persons for whom they hold stock of the company. We expect to solicit proxies primarily by mail, but directors,
offi cers, and other employees of the company may also solicit in person or by telephone, telefax, or electronic mail.
We have retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. to assist in the distribution and solicitation of prox-
ies. Georgeson may solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, telefax, mail, and electronic mail. We expect
that the fee for those services will not exceed $17,000 plus reimbursement of customary out-of-pocket expenses.
By order of the board of directors,
Alecia A. DeCoudreaux
Secretary
