(a)          Not applicable.

 

(b)         On April 18, 2005, we reported by Form 8-K that William J. Lynch, the Chairman of our Board, has informed the Board and our Governance and Nominating Committee, that he will retire from our Board, and as Chairman, effective with our 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  We are conducting a director search in the exercise of due care for a candidate to replace Mr. Lynch as director as soon as practicable following our 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled for May 25, 2005. We expect that Mr. Lynch’s replacement as a director of Edgewater will be elected by the Board and not at the 2005 Annual Meeting, given the limited time before such meeting to complete this search.  We anticipate that our new director will not only satisfy the independence requirements under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, but will have no material connection to our Company (that is, no material financial, personal business or other relationship that a reasonable person could conclude could potentially influence boardroom objectivity) prior to being elected to the Board.

 

(c)          Not applicable.
