ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS
(d)(1) As of December 21, 2007, Andrew Drenick, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed to the Company's board of directors to fill one of two vacancies created by the resignations of William Sanko and Charles Johnston. Mr. Drenick will serve until the next annual meeting of the Company at which directors are elected. Also, as of this date, Christopher Roser was elected as Chairman of the board of directors.
(d)(2)Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as of December 21, 2007, the board of directors was required to elect the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to the board of directors. Accordingly, Mr. Drenick, who became the Company's Chief Executive Officer on December 10, 2007, was appointed to the board. The terms of the Purchase Agreement also required that Christopher Roser be elected as Chairman of the Board.
(d)(3) It is expected that Mr. Drenick will serve on the Compensation Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee, and the Nominating Committee.
(d)(4) See Item 1.01 above ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS Prior to the transaction reported in Item 1.01 above, the Roser Partnership and its affiliates owned 46% of the Company's voting common stock. After the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Roser Partnership and its affiliates beneficially owned 50.38% of the Company's voting common stock. At the request of the Company's board of directors, the Roser Partnership and its affiliates agreed to give an irrevocable proxy to an independent third party for the number of shares by which their ownership interest exceeds 49.9%. This proxy will remain in effect until the number of shares covered by the proxy is reduced to zero or the second anniversary date of the closing of the Purchase Agreement, or December 21, 2009. Although the proxy states that it is irrevocable it is not coupled with an interest. Therefore, under Section 7-107-203 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the irrevocable nature of this proxy may not be enforceable.
