(the “Company”) announced that Gilbert Hu, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors will transition from his role as Chief Executive Officer to President of Asia-Pacific effective as of October 1, 2010.

Mr. Fleming will also continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The transition of Mr. Hu’s position from Chief Executive Officer to President of Asia-Pacific Region will not trigger the Company’s severance obligations under Mr. Hu’s employment agreement with the Company, but such severance provisions will continue to remain in place after such transition. There are no arrangements or understandings between either of Mr. Fleming or Mr. Hu and any other person(s) pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an officer of the Company that are required to be disclosed by Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K.
