(b)
On September 16, 2021, Godfrey M. Long, Jr. resigned his position as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) which was accepted by the Board on September 17, 2021. Mr. Long’s resignation from the Board was not because of any disagreement with the Company or the Board.
(d)
On September 17, 2021, the Board elected Margaret A. Walters to fill the seat formerly occupied by Mr. Long. Mrs. Walters will serve as a director with a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.
Mrs. Walters has had an important, though informal, role with the Company since her husband, Keith Walters, was appointed as CEO in 1997. As a trained educator with expertise in curriculum development, Mrs. Walters was instrumental in helping craft the standard cost training curriculum and tools that are used in the acquisition and integration of new manufacturing plants and the training of plant managers, which has been a significant contribution to the Company’s ability to consistently maintain its healthy operating margins. For nearly 25 years, Mrs. Walters has helped cultivate important relationships with suppliers, distributors, and other printing companies through her regular attendance at industry events and trade shows. Through the relationships she has established over the years, Mrs. Walters has played an integral role in completing some of the Company’s most important acquisitions. Given her substantial understanding of the Company’s culture and operating practices and the goodwill she has developed with many in the printing industry, the Board believes that Mrs. Walters is a valuable addition to the Board.
Mrs. Walters will be eligible to participate in the Company’s standard compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, consisting of an annual cash retainer, meeting fees, stock options and restricted stock, as described in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mrs. Walters will not be an independent director and therefore will not serve on any Committees.
