On August 24, 2010, we announced that Larry G. Stambaugh has been appointed by our Board of Directors to fill the vacancy on the Board left by the resignation of Noel Koch. The vacancy was filled in accordance with our Bylaws. The announcement was made via press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Mr. Stambaugh is currently Chairman of the Board, President & CEO of Cryoport, Inc.

He has served as a board member, chairman and CEO of a number of companies, and was named “Director of the Year” in 2002, 2006 and 2007 by The Directors’ Forum, to which he is a frequent contributor. He authors a blog on leadership, corporate governance and best practices.

Mr. Stambaugh is an independent director, as defined by Nasdaq rules. He will serve on our Audit Committee and Compensation and Incentive Plan Committee, and has been appointed Chairman of our Nominating and Governance Committee.

Mr. Stambaugh will serve for a term expiring at our 2011 annual meeting of shareholders.

Mr. Stambaugh was awarded 12,000 options with an exercise price equal to the closing price on the grant date. The options have a 5 year term, and vest at the rate of 3,000 options each on the grant date, November 23, 2010, February 23, 2011 and May 23, 2011.

With the addition of Mr. Stambaugh, a majority of our Board consists of independent directors, and all Board committees are comprised of three independent directors.
