Director John D. Poe served as acting Chief Executive Officer from September 27, 2005 until April 3, 2006 and thus was a Named Executive Officer in the Company’s most recently filed proxy statement.

 

On March 27, 2007 the Company received a letter from Mr. Poe dated as of March 19, 2007, returning an unsigned stock option agreement related to an award of 5,000 options made on January 1, 2007, one of the pre-established dates for semi-annual awards to Directors. Mr. Poe stated that consistent with his having taken a leave of absence from the Board effective as of August 17, 2006, it would not be appropriate for him to accept the options.

 

As indicated in the Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2006 filed on March 29, 2007, these options have been cancelled and rescinded by the Company.
