The Company’s management and the Board thank Mr. Wiggans for his eight years of dedicated service on the Board and many positive contributions to the Company.

Mr. Wiggans’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies, practices or strategy, the Company’s management or the Board.
