(b)
Due to the heavy travel demands associated with his increased responsibilities at Sun Life Financial,
Jon A. Boscia informed the Company on February 26, 2010 that he does not wish to stand for re-election
when his term expires. Our annual meeting of shareholders, and annual election of directors, is
scheduled for July 2, 2010. Mr. Boscia will continue to serve until his successor is elected and
qualified. The Board decided to reduce the number of directors from eleven to ten, effective upon
the February 28, 2010 departure of Michael D. Lockhart, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The board has made no other decision regarding any further change in the number of directors.
(d)
Also effective February 28, 2010, the Corporate Governance Principles were amended to provide the
positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer may be held by the same person or
different persons. Effective March 1, 2010, James J. O’Connor ceased to serve as Lead Director
and began to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He will serve in such capacity until
his successor has been selected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
The Company shall pay to Mr. O’Connor, as compensation for his service as Chairman of the Board
of Directors, an amount equal to $160,000 annually, which amount supersedes his lead director
annual fee of $20,000; such fee to be split evenly in the form of cash compensation in an amount
of $80,000 and in equity of $80,000.
(e)
At a meeting held February 26, 2010, the Company authorized a grant, effective March 2, 2010, of
20,000 restricted shares and 50,000 stock options, to Thomas B. Mangas, Senior Vice President &
