Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
Effective October 7, 2008, a majority of our shareholders acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting removed, without cause, three of our directors from our board of directors. The directors removed from our board of directors were: Mark W. Leonard, Steven J. Leavitt and Brian K. Gibson.
 
On October 7, 2008, following the removal of Messrs. Leonard, Leavitt and Gibson from our board of directors, our remaining director, Dean Sukowatey, appointed James R. Broghammer and Scott D. Zabler, upon his determining that Messrs. Broghammer and Zabler would serve as directors, to fill two of the existing vacancies on our board of directors. There are no existing committees of our board of directors to which Messrs. Broghammer and Zabler could have been appointed. Messrs. Broghammer and Zabler are to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders. A summary of each of our new directors’ backgrounds follows:
 
 
 
Mr. Brohammer has, for over 20 years, lead various operations that process corn into ethanol, corn syrup, fructose, pharmaceutical sugars, food starches and industrial grade starches. His experience includes employment with Archer Daniels Midland, Penford Products Company and, most recently, Pacesetter Management Group, a Virginia-based ethanol plant management company, where he has served as president since 2003. As president of Pacesetter Management Group, Mr. Broghammer is responsible for current ethanol production operations of ACE Ethanol, Stanley, WI, and Pine Lake Corn Processors, Steamboat Rock, IA. In addition, Mr. Broghammer also serves as president of Iowa River Railroad, the first short-line railroad started in Iowa in over twenty years, running from Marshalltown, IA, to Ackley, IA.
 
 
 
Mr. Zabler has, during the past 25 years, been employed by Ralston Purina, FCStone, Penford Products, Verasun Energy and, most recently, Pacesetter Management Group, where he serves as General Manager of Pine Lake Corn Processors, a 35 million gallon (annual) ethanol production plant. Mr. Zabler’s experience includes all aspects of grain merchandising, such as buying, futures and options trading, and risk management. Along with grain merchandising, Mr. Zabler has also directed the selling of the ethanol co-products from the wet milling industry. While at Verasun Energy, one of the country’s largest ethanol production firms, Mr. Zabler was responsible for buying corn, purchasing natural gas, selling of the dry and wet distiller’s grains, coordinating the selling of ethanol and overall risk management.
 
In December 2007, we issued 6,270,366 common stock purchase warrants to purchase a like number of shares our common stock, at an exercise price of $.55 per share, to each of Messrs. Broghammer and Zabler. All of these warrants are currently exercisable and expire in 2017. At the time of these issuances, neither Mr. Broghammer nor Mr. Zabler was an affiliate of our company. These warrants were issued in consideration of their invaluable consulting services in assisting our company in accomplishing its business objectives. The issuance of these warrants resulted in a compensation expense of $6,075,213 for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, it is possible that, in future periods, the Company will incur charges against earnings as a result of the issuance of these warrants. The timing or amount of any such future charges cannot be predicted.
 
In conjunction with our board of directors’ authorizing the issuances of these warrants, our board of directors determined it to be in the best interest of our company and its shareholders that, in a manner and structure to be determined in the future, our company pay a sum of cash to Messrs. Broghammer and Zabler in a total amount, net of income taxes, of approximately $6,100,000.
 
Item 8.01. Other Events.
 
In connection with the removal of three of our directors and the appointment of two new directors to our board of directors, on October 8, 2008, we issued the press release reproduced below:
