(the "Company") received a letter of resignation from Rosario Piacente and accepted his resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Piacente's resignation was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies (including accounting or financial policies) or practices.
