You may have not seen this back in December......


On December 18, 2009, Floyd H. Griffith was elected to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, filling the 3rd Board seat.


Mr. Griffith is the founder & CEO of Houston-based Bimshire Creative Management where he has served from January, 2009, to present. Mr. Griffith has been a finance practitioner with Wall Street experience in securities issuance, investments, risk management, and securities regulation with Merrill Lynch in 2008 and with Citi Smith Barney from 2006 to 2008. He also was a Risk Analyst with Oasis Capital Markets during 2005. As a regulatory analyst at the NASD (now FINRA) in 2004 and 2005, he promoted investor protection and market integrity by enforcing securities rules, laws, and regulation. Griffith, who received his M.B.A. in finance from The Johns Hopkins University, is a 2004 graduate of the Wharton School’s Executive Development Program (EDP) at the University of Pennsylvania.


The Board considers Mr. Griffith to be an independent director, as defined in Section 10A-3(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a non-management member of the Board, Mr. Griffith will receive the same standard compensation paid to other non-management directors for service on the Board and its committees.


There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Griffith and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or are currently proposed, regarding Mr. Griffith that are required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.


On December 23, 2009, Michael G. Wirtz, Vice President & CFO, assumed the responsibilities of Secretary and Treasurer.
