In connection with the Closing, on April 5, 2012, we entered into a voting agreement with SGT’s former stockholders, the Investor Representative and Europa International Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders agreed to vote the shares of our capital stock held by such stockholders to elect to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) two persons designated by the Investor Representative (the “Investor Directors”), which persons were initially Craig Ellins, with one seat remaining vacant. On April 1, 2013, the Investor Representative designated, and the Board elected, Eric D. Shevin to the Board as the second Investor Director.
