Mr. Kanen has confirmed to the Company's Board that his resignation is not the result of any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
On May 21, 2021, in response to Mr. Kanen's resignation, Mr. Anand D. Gala notified the Company that he would resign from the Board of Directors effective immediately to allow the Company to maintain a majority of independent directors as required by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Listing Rules.

He has expressed his willingness to again serve as a director at some time in the future if the Company has a sufficient number of independent directors.
