Aligned with the Company's business plan strategies to enhance its in-house E&P talents, in May 2009 the Company's Board of Directors formed an executive search committee to enable the addition of new board and CEO candidates with extensive oil and gas experience. To support this process the Company recently engaged the Houston-based executive search firm Preng & Associates, Inc. The executive search committee advises that it has identified and is in discussions with highly qualified candidates for these positions. The committee also advises that Kent Watts, with the full support of the Board of Directors, is continuing to serve as President and Chief Executive until a successor is appointed.
