CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K
Item 6. Resignation of Registrant's Directors
By letter dated March 8, 2004, Directors Donald Cymbor, Phyllis
Garelick, Kenneth Poesl and Joseph Tagliareni stated that each would
decline to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at the 2004
Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In their letter to the Board of
Directors dated March 8, 2004, directors Cymbor, Garelick, Poesl and
Tagliareni stated that each would decline to stand for reelection as
nominees of the Board of Directors, claiming that they believed the
Board acted arbitrarily regarding its consideration of Board matters
relating to strategic alternatives and disagreeing with the Board
regarding the classification and composition of the Board.
The Company strongly disagrees with the characterizations of Board
actions contained in the March 8, 2004 letter and believes that the
actions undertaken to date by the Board of Directors have been taken
after deliberation and consideration of available information, and are
believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.
