Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Election of Directors
On March 24, 2005, our board of directors elected two new board members: Roy Neel and Raymond L. Golden. Mr. Golden’s election was subject to his acceptance of the position. He accepted on March 28, 2005. The Board committees on which they will serve have not been determined. No arrangement or understanding exists between the new directors and other persons in connection with their selection as directors. Neither of the new board members had any interest in any transaction in which we were involved.
Mr. Neel is an Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, where he teaches courses in Presidential Transitions and Presidential Leadership. He is also chairman of the Jackson Group, a Washington-based consulting firm specializing in public policy and politics, and a director of Blue State Digital, a leading national online communications firm. From 1994 to 2001, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the U. S. Telecom Association, a trade group representing the regional Bell companies and nearly 1,000 local telecom companies. During that period he helped advance major telecom deregulation laws and was an internationally-recognized speaker on telecom issues. Recently, Mr. Neel served as manager for Governor Howard Dean’s presidential campaign and director of his post-campaign organization, Democracy for America.
Mr. Golden has spent his entire 38 year career in investment banking. From 1962 to 1987, Mr. Golden served in various capacities at Salomon Brothers, retiring in 1987 as Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration of Salamon, Inc. He is a graduate of the Baruch School of Business and Public Administration and received a Master’s degree from the Wharton School. In addition to extensive public speaking and the publishing of several articles and papers on the capital markets, Mr. Golden was appointed Chairman of the Federal Energy Administration’s Finance Advisory Committee. He currently serves as vice-chair of the National Wildlife Endowment Fund.
