Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01.  Other Events.


Since the retirement of Richard E. Wenninger from the Company's Board of Directors on March 19, 2015, the Audit Committee has only had two members.  On March 30, 2015, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") noting that the Company was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2), which requires the Company to have at least three independent directors serving on its Audit Committee.  NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) provides the Company with a cure period to fill the vacancy on its Audit Committee until the earlier of the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders or March 19, 2016.

On May 13, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the appointment of Andrew S. Love, an existing independent director, as a new member of the Audit Committee with immediate effect.  The Company has, therefore, cured the deficiency and is now in full compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2).
 
The Company continues to not have a majority of independent directors as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(b)(1) after giving effect to the retirements of Richard E. Wenninger and Stephen M. Dearholt and the appointment of Sharon Meckes to the Board of Directors on March 19, 2015.  Consistent with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(b)(1)(A), the Company continues to rely on the cure period to regain compliance which lasts until the earlier of the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders or March 19, 2016.
