From 1986 until April 2006, Mr. Snellings served as Managing Director of Wachovia Services, Ltd., where he managed investment banking origination activities of the Asia-Pacific Group within Wachovia Securities Corporate and Investment Banking Division.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Snellings and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Snellings was appointed as a director of the Company or a member of the Audit Committee.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
