Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On August 5, 2013, we notified the NASDAQ Stock Market that an independent member of our Board of Directors, Frank P. Williamson, died on August 3, 2013. Mr. Williamson served on our Board of Directors and on our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee since 2004. As a result of Mr. Williamson’s death, we currently do not comply with the requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2) that our Board of Directors be comprised of a majority of independent directors and that our Audit Committee be comprised of at least three independent directors. We expect to regain compliance with such rules by filling Mr. Williamson’s vacancies on the Board and the Audit Committee prior to the expiration of the applicable cure periods provided under Listing Rule 5605.
