PROXY STATEMENT
Other Matters
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under SEC rules, our directors and executive officers are required to file with the SEC reports of holdings and
changes in beneficial ownership of company stock. We have reviewed copies of reports provided to the company, as
well as other records and information. Based on that review, we concluded that all reports were timely filed, except
that, due to an administrative error, Mr. Rice incorrectly reported the total number of shares he held at the time he
became an officer. The filing was amended to include these shares promptly after the issue was discovered.
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, fiduciaries, 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, officers, and
other employees of the company may also solicit in person or by telephone, fax, or electronic mail. We have retained
Georgeson Inc. to assist in the distribution and solicitation of proxies. Georgeson may solicit proxies by personal
interview, telephone, fax, mail, and electronic mail. We expect that the fee for those services will not exceed $17,500
plus reimbursement of customary out-of-pocket expenses.
By order of the board of directors,
James B. Lootens
Secretary
