In connection with its 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders, the

by the Company's shareholders to declassify the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors also resolved, prior to the 2013 shareholder meeting,
to adopt revisions to the Company's Principles of Corporate Governance
to provide that in any uncontested election for director, a nominee that
does not receive a majority of the votes cast in order to be re-elected
must tender to the Board his or her resignation from the Board, which
the Board will then determine whether or not to accept.
