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

 

(b) On November 4, 2008, Kevin A. Richardson, II resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, effective on November 5, 2008. On November 6, 2008, Perry M. Waughtal resigned from the Board, effective immediately. Neither of the resignations was the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. These resignations, along with the resignation of Mark G. Yudof on October 22, 2008, are part of a Board-initiated restructuring of the Board composition in order to more competitively position the Board’s size and compensation in relation to the Company’s peers.
