On May 11, 2015, James S. Dodez, our Senior Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Planning, announced that he plans to resign from that position in the near future in order to pursue an early retirement. Mr. Dodez has indicated his willingness to remain an employee on a reduced schedule in order to facilitate a smooth transition of his responsibilities. It is expected that Mr. Dodez will also continue to serve as a strategy advisor to our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer until at least mid-2016.
