Accordingly, Ms. Abraham will remain as a Class III Director whose term expires at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

The following biographical information regarding Ms. Abraham was omitted from the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Instruction 3 to Paragraph (a) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K, and is included below as a result of Ms. Abraham’s change of intent to resign. There has been no material change to the biographical information for Ms. Abraham included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Ms. Abraham has served as a Director of the Company since March 2002 and is currently the President and Founder of The Newton School, a private, non-profit elementary and middle school located in Sterling, Virginia. She is a member of the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and is the Chairwoman of the Audit Committee.
