He served for more than seven years as America’s ambassador to the People’s Republic of China under the administration of President George W. Bush and currently is the president of Randt & Co. LLC, which advises firms with interests in China. A 1968 graduate of Yale with a law degree from the University of Michigan, he is a former governor and first vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and spent eight years as a partner resident in the Hong Kong office of the law firm Shearman & Sterling. Mr. Randt also is a member of the Board at Valmont Industries Inc.

     Mr. Randt’s compensation for his services as a director will be consistent with that of the Company’s other non-employee directors as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 15, 2010. Other than the standard compensation arrangements, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Randt and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director.
