On July 19, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company elected Cara Heiden as a Class II director on the Board of Directors, filling the existing vacancy left by the death of Richard Wilkey in April of this year. Ms. Heiden is the retired Co-President of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (“WFHM”), a Wells Fargo company and provider of residential mortgages. She began her career with Norwest Bank Iowa/Wells Fargo in 1981 and held a number of executive leadership positions in Wells Fargo companies during her tenure, including vice president and chief financial officer of WFHM and head of National Consumer Lending. She became Co-President of WFHM in 2004 and served in that position until her retirement in 2011.

The Board of Directors has not appointed Ms. Heiden to any Board committees as of the date hereof, but is expected to consider the subject of committee assignments at its next regularly scheduled meeting in September.

As a Class II director, Ms. Heiden will be entitled to receive the same compensation payable to other non-employee directors of the Company, the most recent description of which is included in the Company’s proxy statement (Schedule 14A) for the annual meeting of shareholders held on September 16, 2016.
