Item 5.02. Departure of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In light of continuing market conditions and the desire to further reduce total Company expenses, Andrew Way, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors, voluntarily requested to suspend his participation in the Company’s cash-based short-term incentive compensation program for 2016. Mr. Way also requested that the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consider converting a larger portion of the Named Executive Officers’ long term incentive compensation from time-based to performance-based compensation in order to further align the Company’s management with shareholder returns. In light of Mr. Way’s requests, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has suspended Mr. Way’s participation in the Company’s 2016 short-term incentive compensation program pending calendar 2016 results, and has approved an adjustment to the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program such that 50%, rather than 20%, of the Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive compensation will be performance-based commencing calendar 2016. As part of these cost savings efforts, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has additionally determined to suspend participation by all Named Executive Officers in the Company’s 2016 short-term incentive compensation program pending calendar 2016 results.
