| | Given the current corporate governance climate, in which many qualified individuals are increasingly reluctant to serve on public company boards, the Company could also be placed at a competitive disadvantage in recruiting qualified director candidates if their board service could potentially be only for a one-year period. In contrast, a study using a broader index of 51 corporate governance factors published by Institutional Shareholder Services, titled "Corporate Governance and Firm Performance" (December 2004), indicated that while companies without staggered boards have higher firm values solely as measured by Tobin's Q, they have lower net profit margins, lower dividend yields and lower share repurchases. Protection against Certain Takeovers A classified board reduces the Company's vulnerability to unfriendly or unsolicited takeover tactics that may not be in the best interest of the Company's stockholders. Having a classified board does not prevent unsolicited takeover attempts, but it empowers the incumbent board to negotiate terms to maximize the value of the transaction to all stockholders. |
