Proposal 2. Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company during the fiscal year ending December 26, 2009 (the “2009 fiscal year”), and is recommending that the shareholders ratify this appointment. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2002 and is considered by management to be well qualified. Although shareholder ratification is not required by the Company’s organizational documents, and current law, rules and regulations require the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to be engaged and supervised by the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for ratification by shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice.

 

In the event the shareholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions at the Annual Meeting.
