Appointment of Directors

 

On September 30, 2012, the Registrant’s Board of Directors elected Happy H. Wells, James Guy Tucker and Carl W.

The Directors were elected to serve until the 2013 Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Registrant. The Directors have not been involved in any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of the Regulation S-K. The biographies of the newly elected Directors are set forth below.

 

James Guy Tucker, 69, Director. James (Jim) Guy Tucker, Jr. is a political figure from the state of Arkansas. He received his B.

He has served as an elected Prosecuting Attorney, Attorney General of Arkansas, Member of the United States Congress, Chairman of the White House Conference on Families under Presidents Carter and Reagan, Lt Governor and Governor of Arkansas (1992-1996). From 1982 -1992, Mr. Tucker was a senior partner in the 50-member law firm of Mitchell, Williams, Selig and Tucker in Little Rock where he handled complex regional and nationwide business litigation.

Mr. Tucker is currently active within the Democratic political party. The Registrant believed Mr. Tucker’s experience as an attorney as well as his experiences in developing and leading both public and private companies, made him uniquely qualified to serve as the Registrant’s Chairman.

Mr. Wells has served as a board member for both private and public companies, some of which operated in the oil and gas sector.

Carl W. Swan, 87, Chief Executive Officer, Director. Carl W. Swan has over 50 years’ experience in the energy and related natural resources business. Mr. Swan established Swan Petroleum Corporation in 1976 and continues to serve as its President. Swan Petroleum is a corporation involved in domestic and international oilfield development programs.
