On September 16, 2014, by action of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CVSL Inc. (the “Company”), the number of members of the Board was increased from 11 to 12 and John W. Bickel was elected to the Board.

Mr. Bickel was elected to the Board because of his decades of accomplishment, experience, and good judgment as a preeminent commercial litigation attorney; his broad and deep experience in corporate law, governance, and dispute resolution; and his analytical skills and leadership abilities. Mr. Bickel co-founded the Dallas and New York-based national law firm Bickel & Brewer, where he served as an equity partner for over 30 years, withdrawing only recently from the firm to pursue other interests. He currently heads the firm of Bickel PLLC. Mr. Bickel received his Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1970, received infantry and parachute training, and served three years as an officer in an infantry battalion and aide-de-camp to a general officer of the United States Army. Mr. Bickel received his law degree from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in 1976. Following law school, Mr. Bickel completed his West Point obligation as a trial attorney in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, in three years trying to verdict over 80 jury cases while serving on separate occasions as Chief Trial Counsel and Chief Defense Counsel at Ft. Lewis, Washington. As a business litigator, Mr. Bickel was selected by his peers as a Top 100 Lawyer in the State of Texas. Mr. Bickel has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law and has served terms as a trustee of the West Point Association of Graduates. Mr. Bickel is a Fellow of both the American Bar Foundation and the Texas Bar Foundation, a Sustaining Life Fellow in the Dallas Bar Foundation, a member of the Citizens for a Qualified Judiciary, an alumni member of the former Markey-Wigmore Chapter of the Inns of Court, and is licensed to practice in both Texas and New York. Mr. Bickel has not been appointed to serve on any committee of the Board.
