1 Although the terms of the elected directors expire in 2014, Mr. Amick will reach age 70 in May of 2013. The registrant’s articles of incorporation mandate that the term of any director who is not a salaried employee expires at the annual meeting next preceding the date such director attains age 70. Accordingly, Mr. Amick’s term will expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting.
