Hochstein as Chair of the Board of Directors (\"Board Chair\"). Mr. Hochstein was elected Board Chair, and Mr. Brian Edgar was elected Lead Director, at a meeting of the Company's independent directors following the Company's Annual General Meeting.

Joining Jennifer as a new Director is Dave Neuburger.
