Service on Other Boards The Company does not have a policy restricting the number of boards of directors on which a director may serve. Communications with the public, the press, customers, securities analysts and shareholders should typically be handled by the Chief Executive Officer or other senior management. As part of this guideline, all directors are required to retain 100% of all shares obtained through the Company as compensation for services provided to the Company, such percentage to be calculated after any reduction in the number of shares to be delivered as a result of any taxes and exercise costs relating to such shares.

We also offer a wide range of services including materials testing and component analysis, custom compound development, colorant and additive services, design assistance, structural analyses, process simulations and extruder screw design. Globalization allows us to service our customers with consistency wherever their operations might be around the world. Concentration of credit risk for trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers constituting our customer base and their distribution among many industries and geographic locations.
