Item 5.02.  Election of Director.

 

                On November 14, 2007 Registrant’s Board of Directors elected Dr. John H. Warner, Jr. to fill a vacancy on the board due to the retirement of Dr. Richard C. Atkinson.  Dr. Warner recently retired from SAIC where he had been a director since 1988 and an employee since 1973, rising to the positions of Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer.  SAIC has revenues of approximately $8 billion and 43,000 employees, worldwide.  It is a large technology-driven government contractor, with a focus on defense and homeland security.  Dr. Warner, who has a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from UCLA, has been named to the Registrant’s Audit Committee.  He will receive an option to purchase 4,500 shares of Registrant’s common stock at the closing price on the day after his election, which arrangement is standard for all independent directors.
