Item 5.02. Department of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 7, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”), acting upon the recommendation of the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Joseph P. Slattery as a member of the Board and as
chairman of the audit committee of the Board. The appointment will be effective as of November 16, 2007, and
Mr. Slattery will fill the vacancy on the Board and the audit committee resulting from the resignation of Philip
Schneider from the Board and as chairman of the audit committee. Mr. Schneider resigned on November 7, 2007, with such
resignation to become effective as of November 16, 2007. The Company and Mr. Schneider anticipate entering into
a consulting agreement pursuant to which Mr. Schneider will assist in the efficient transition of the audit committee
responsibilities to Mr. Slattery.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Slattery and any other person pursuant to which he was selected
as a director. Mr. Slattery’s initial term as a director of the Company will extend until the next annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company.
Mr. Slattery was Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Digene Corporation, and left that position
following the acquisition of Digene by Qiagen in July 2007. He had joined Digene in 1996 as its Controller
prior to its initial public offering, assumed the position of Senior Vice President of Finance and Information Systems
in 2002, and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer in October 2006. Before joining Digene, Mr. Slattery
served as an audit manager at KPMG and as a staff auditor at Ernst
& Young. He holds a B.S. degree in accounting from Bentley College and is a certified public accountant.
