Directors are expected to attend all board and committee meetings, as well as the annual meetings of stockholders, absent exigent circumstances. All of our 13 directors in office at the time attended the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. During fiscal 2009, the board of directors met eight times and various committees of the board met a total of 21 times. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate total meetings of the board and board committees on which they served during fiscal 2009.
