Mr. Glassell's appointment increases the size of the Board to ten members until William Korb's retirement following the Company's April 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
.
Mr. Glassell was most recently the Chief Executive Officer of CMC Biologics, a contract manufacturing organization focused on biologic pharmaceuticals from 2011 through 2015.
Previously, Mr. Glassell was the Chief Executive Officer of Cerus Corp., a publicly, held medical device company from 2004 through 2011.

Mr. Glassell will be paid

an annual award of such number of restricted stock units equivalent in value to $60,000 (determined by dividing $60,000 by the average of the highest and lowest trading prices of the Company's stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of the award) and an option to purchase $35,000 in value of shares of the Company's common stock (estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the director's age and expected retirement date)
