Dear [Shareholders Name]:
As you know, our annual shareholders' meeting will be held on August 15, at our
corporate offices. I hope you will be able to attend. Enclosed for your
information is our proxy statement and annual report which were mailed directly
to your company representative, who is responsible for voting proxies.
Please review the two proposals outlined in the proxy statement. I ask that
you support both the proposal for election of Board of Directors and the
proposal to increase the number of authorized common shares of the Company. As
described in the attached proxy, this increase in authorized shares is
necessary to provide the Company the flexibility to meet its future needs.
Please contact either me, (214/864-5201) or Deborah Nugent, Vice President of
Finance (214/864-5999), if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to seeing you at our
annual meeting.
Sincerely,
Judy O. Sims
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
Encl.
