Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The Company held a special meeting of shareholders on March 24, 2010. A total of 12,135,770 shares were represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, constituting 60.11% of the 20,189,027 issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Proxies were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

A proposal to approve for purposes of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 the issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Company’s recently issued 73,500 shares of Mandatorily Convertible Non Cumulative Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, was approved at the meeting. The number of shares cast with respect to this proposal was as follows:


For: 11,732,073		Against: 365,893		Abstain: 37,804

The number voting “for” constitutes 96.68% of the total number of shares represented and voting at the meeting with respect to this proposal. There were no broker non-votes received with respect to this item.

A proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40 million to 100 million shares was approved at the meeting by a majority of the outstanding shares. The number of shares cast with respect to this proposal was as follows:


For: 11,852,725		Against: 225,613		Abstain: 57,432

The number voting “for” constitutes 97.67% of the total number of shares represented and voting at the meeting with respect to this proposal, and 58.79% of the total outstanding shares. There were no broker non-votes received with respect to this item.

A proposal to approve the private placement of common stock which closed on November 30, 2009 pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), so that all investors in that offering may be treated equally, was also approved at the meeting. The number of shares cast with respect to this proposal was as follows:


For: 8,448,089		Against: 3,630,449		Abstain: 57,232

The number voting “for” constitutes 69.61% of the total number of shares represented and voting at the meeting with respect to this proposal. There were no broker non-votes received with respect to this item.

The final item on the agenda for shareholder action, if necessary, was the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt the other proposals presented. As all three proposals were approved at the meeting, this last item was not voted on.
