(a)
On March 5, 2014, two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, Dale B. Lavigne and Ronald D. Lavigne, separately notified the Company’s Chief Executive Officer of their resignations from their board positions, effective immediately. At the time of their resignations, Dale Lavigne served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chairman of the Compensation Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee, and Ronald Lavigne served as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee.
Both directors provided resignation letters, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 17.1 and 17.2. Neither letter cites that the resignation is due to a disagreement with the Company, but the resignations followed a meeting of the Board of Directors in which the resigning directors had expressed disagreement with the focus and direction of the Company supported by the Board majority. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the resignations were due to this disagreement. The Company has provided Messrs. Lavigne with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Report no later than the date on which this Report is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has also provided each resigning director with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter stating whether he agrees or disagrees with the statements made in this report and, if he disagrees, the respects in which he disagrees.
On March 10, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors held a meeting to fill the certain vacancies left by the resigning directors. James F. Westmoreland was elected to serve as Chairman of the Board, Timothy R. Lindsey was elected was elected Chairman of the Compensation Committee, and Wayne G. Dotson was elected Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Timothy R. Lindsey was also appointed to serve on the Audit Committee. In addition, the Board of Directors approved reducing the size of the Company’s Board of Directors from six members to four.
