On February 6, 2017, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the Issuer (the “Nomination Letter”) nominating the Nominees, as set forth therein, for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders (including any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof, the “Annual Meeting”). In the Nomination Letter, the Reporting Persons also notified the Issuer as to the submission of a business proposal to be presented at the Annual Meeting.  The business proposal recommends that the Issuer initiate the appropriate process to amend the Issuer’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide that the Issuer’s Bylaws can be amended by a simple majority vote of the stockholders.  Currently, the Issuer’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws require 80% of the outstanding Shares for stockholders to amend the Bylaws. 
 
The Reporting Persons submitted the Nomination Letter because the Reporting Persons have serious concerns with the Issuer’s corporate governance, including the extent of related party transactions that appear, to the Reporting Persons, to be largely unchecked by the Issuer’s independent directors.  The Reporting Persons believe the Nominees are highly qualified candidates with relevant credentials and skill-sets, including implementing corporate governance best practices, who will be vital in evaluating and executing on initiatives to unlock value at the Issuer, as evidenced by their bios below.
 
The Reporting Persons intend to engage in discussions with management, the Board and stockholders of the Issuer regarding the nomination of directors at the Annual Meeting, the composition of the Issuer’s Board generally and the business proposal they seek to bring forth at the Annual Meeting in the hopes of avoiding a contested election at the Annual Meeting.
 
The Nominees are:
 
Roger H. Ballou, age 65, currently serves as a director of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (“Univest”), the parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co., which acquired Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (“Fox Chase”), a federal savings bank, in July 2016, Alliance Data Systems Corporation, a provider of transaction-based, data-driven marketing and loyalty solutions, since February 2001, and RCM Technologies, Inc., a provider of business and technology solutions, since December 2013.  Mr. Ballou previously served as a director of Fox Chase from 2005 until its acquisition by Univest in 2016 and as Fox Chase’s Chairman of the Board from January 2014 to July 2016.  Mr. Ballou previously served as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of CDI Corporation, a company that offers engineering, information technology and professional staffing solutions, from October 2001 to January 2011.
