ADDITIONAL SOLICITING MATERIAL RELATED TO
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
This additional soliciting material related to our proxy statement dated December 21, 2012, or the “proxy statement”, provides additional information with respect to our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders which will be held on January 29, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. local time at our Lindon, Utah offices located at 321 South 1250 West, Suite 1, Lindon, Utah 84042. This additional soliciting material is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and being made available to stockholders on January 11, 2013.
On January 10, 2013 James Solomon, a nominee for election to the Company’s board of directors notified the Company that he is withdrawing his name as a nominee for election to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Solomon is not currently an officer or director of the Company.
The board of directors does not anticipate nominating additional candidates for election to the Company’s board of directors at the annual meeting. The remaining three nominees – Brenton Hatch, Harold Albert and Andrew Limpert, will stand for election to the Company’s board of directors. As only three individuals have been nominated to stand for election, your shares may only be voted to fill three directorships. Any votes cast for Mr. Solomon will not be counted in connection with the election of directors.
