The following definitive additional materials will be sent via email to
employees of the Registrant on April 28, 2000.
If you are a shareholder of the Company (through the 401(k) Plan or
otherwise), you recently received a proxy statement, proxy card and
annual report. There are five items to vote on at the annual meeting. As
you probably know, completing and returning the proxy card is the easiest
way to vote your shares.
We certainly do not want to dictate how any particular shareholder votes
his or her shares, but we want to make sure that when you vote there is
no confusion regarding management's recommendations. As stated in the
proxy statement and on the proxy card itself, the Company is recommending
that shareholders vote FOR items 1 through 4 (directors, purchase plan,
option plan and auditors) and AGAINST item 5 (shareholder proposal on
vendor standards compliance mechanisms). Management is recommending a NO
vote on this proposal because the Company has operated its own vendor
compliance program since 1994.
