On February 13, 2013, the Company learned that Kenneth Hooten had decided to not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the annual shareholders meeting scheduled for May 2, 2013. Mr. Hooten has chosen instead to focus his energy more closely on his responsibilities as a general partner of Concentric Equity Partners, a private equity firm he founded in 2003. Mr. Hooten has served on the Board since August 9, 2010.


“Ken has been an important resource to the Board and executive management. While his input will be missed, the Company is confident that it has in place the Board members necessary to continue the Company’s success. We wish Ken nothing but the best in his future endeavors and look forward to accepting his offer to provide informal advice to the Company after his tenure as director ends,” said Michael Benstock, Chief Executive Officer, and Sidney Kirschner, Chairperson of the Board.
