RATIFY THE SELECTION OF KPMG LLP AS THE COMPANY’S
INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2007 FISCAL YEAR (Proposal No. 3)
The Audit Committee has selected KPMG LLP, independent
registered public accounting firm (“KPMG”), to perform
the integrated audit of the consolidated financial statements
and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2007
(“Fiscal 2007”), and the Company’s Board has
ratified this selection. A representative of KPMG is expected to
be present at the Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a
statement if so desired, and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions.
The Board is submitting the selection of KPMG as the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for
Fiscal 2007 to the shareholders for their ratification. The
Audit Committee of the Board bears the ultimate responsibility
for selecting the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm and will make the selection it deems best for
the Company and the Company’s shareholders. As such, the
failure by the shareholders to ratify the selection of
independent registered public accounting firm made by the Audit
Committee will not require the Audit Committee to alter its
decision. Similarly, ratification of the selection of KPMG as
the independent registered public accounting firm does not limit
the Committee’s ability to change this selection in the
future if it deems appropriate.
Approval
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at the
Meeting on the ratification of the selection of KPMG is required
for approval. Abstentions are considered shares entitled to vote
on the proposal and as such abstentions are the equivalent of a
vote against the proposal. In contrast, broker non-votes are not
counted as present and entitled to vote on the proposal and
therefore have no effect on the vote.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF KPMG AS INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2007.
