|
|
Annual Report
|
27
|
|
Q:
|
Why did I receive this Proxy Statement?
|
|
A:
|
The Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2010 Annual Meeting because you were a stockholder at the close of business on October 18, 2010, the record date, and are entitled to vote at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
|
|
Q:
|
What information is contained in this Proxy Statement?
|
|
A:
|
The information in this Proxy Statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the 2010 Annual Meeting, the voting process, the compensation of directors and certain executive officers, and certain other required information.
|
|
Q:
|
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?
|
|
A:
|
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive.
|
|
Q:
|
How may I obtain an additional set of proxy materials?
|
|
A:
|
All stockholders may write to us to request an additional copy of these materials. The address is:
|
|
Q:
|
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
|
|
A:
|
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” This Proxy Statement, our 2009 Annual Report and a proxy card have been sent directly to you by the Company.
|
|
Q:
|
What am I voting on at the Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
You are voting on the following proposals:
|
|
·
|
To elect seven directors to serve until the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify;
|
|
·
|
To ratify the appointment of J.H. Cohn LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010; and
|
|
·
|
To transact such other business as may properly come before the 2010 Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof.
|
|
Q:
|
How do I vote?
|
|
A:
|
You may vote using any of the following methods:
|
|
·
|
Proxy card or voting instruction card. Be sure to complete, sign and date the card and return it in the prepaid envelope.
|
|
·
|
By telephone or the Internet. This is allowed if you are a beneficial owner of shares and your broker, bank or nominee offers this alternative.
|
|
·
|
In person at the 2010 Annual Meeting. All stockholders may vote in person at the 2010 Annual Meeting. You may also be represented by another person at the 2010 Annual Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee and present it to the inspector of election with your ballot when you vote at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
|
|
Q:
|
What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?
|
|
A:
|
If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the 2010 Annual Meeting by:
|
|
·
|
Sending a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;
|
|
·
|
Submitting a new, proper proxy dated later than the date of the revoked proxy; or
|
|
·
|
Attending the 2010 Annual Meeting and voting in person.
|
|
Q:
|
What if I return a signed proxy card, but do not vote for some of the matters listed on the proxy card?
|
|
A:
|
If you return a signed proxy card without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as follows: “FOR” the election of each of its nominees; and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of J.H. Cohn LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
|
|
Q:
|
Can my broker vote my shares for me on the election of directors?
|
|
A:
|
No. Please note that this year the rules that govern how most brokers vote your shares have changed. Brokers that are members of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) may no longer use discretionary authority to vote shares on the election of directors if they have not received instructions from their clients. Most brokerage firms are members of the NYSE, so this rule will likely affect you. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.
|
|
Q:
|
Can my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy card or voting instruction card and do not attend the 2010 Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
If you do not vote your shares held of record (registered directly in your name, not in the name of a bank or broker), your shares will not be voted.
|
|
Q:
|
What are the voting requirements with respect to each of the proposals?
|
|
A:
|
In the election of directors, each director receiving a plurality of affirmative (“FOR”) votes will be elected. You may withhold votes from any or all nominees.
|
|
Q:
|
What happens if a nominee for director does not stand for election?
|
|
A:
|
If for any reason any nominee does not stand for election, any proxies we receive will be voted in favor of the remainder of nominees and may be voted for a substitute nominee in place of the nominee who does not stand. We have no reason to expect that any of the nominees will not stand for election.
|
|
Q:
|
How many votes do I have?
|
|
A:
|
You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that you hold. As of October 18, 2010, the record date, there were 2,250,373 shares of common stock outstanding.
|
|
Q:
|
Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors?
|
|
A:
|
We do not use cumulative voting for the election of directors.
|
|
Q:
|
What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
Other than the two items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the 2010 Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Patrick J. Guarino and R. LaDuane Clifton, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.
|
|
Q:
|
How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the 2010 Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote, totaling 1,125,187 shares, is represented at the 2010 Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy.
|
|
Q:
|
How can I attend the 2010 Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
You are entitled to attend the 2010 Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder as of the close of business on October 18, 2010, the record date, or you hold a valid proxy for the 2010 Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a stockholder of record, your name will be verified against the list of stockholders of record on the record date prior to your being admitted to the 2010 Annual Meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares through a broker, trustee or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the record date, such as your most recent account statement prior to October 18, 2010, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above, you will not be admitted to the 2010 Annual Meeting.
|
|
Q:
|
How can I vote my shares in person at the 2010 Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the 2010 Annual Meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person at the 2010 Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the 2010 Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy card or voting instruction card as described herein so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.
|
|
Q:
|
What is the deadline for voting my shares?
|
|
A:
|
If you hold shares as the stockholder of record, your vote by proxy must be received before the polls close at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
|
|
Q:
|
Is my vote confidential?
|
|
A:
|
Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide on their proxy card written comments, which are then forwarded to our management.
|
|
Q:
|
How are votes counted?
|
|
A:
|
For the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. For the other items of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you elect “ABSTAIN,” the abstention will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but otherwise will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
|
|
Q:
|
Where can I find the voting results of the 2010 Annual Meeting?
|
|
A:
|
We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the 2010 Annual Meeting and publish final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the 2010 Annual Meeting.
