The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, evaluating and recommending to the Board of Directors candidates for election to the Board of Directors as well as appropriate members for the Audit and Compensation Committees. A slate of nominees for director to present to the shareholders is recommended by the Nominating Committee and determined by at least a majority vote of those directors whose terms do not expire during the year in which the election of directors will be made. The Committee will consider nominees recommended by the shareholders. Any shareholder wishing to make a recommendation regarding a nominee for election at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders should follow the guidelines as outlined in the current Proxy Statement.
