At the Annual Meeting, we are asking you to vote on proposals that will pave the way for the Company to execute upon our strategy to improve profitability and enhance shareholder value.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We are on the cusp of an exciting new chapter with our planned acquisition of the <em>National Enquirer, the National Examiner<\/em> and <em>Globe<\/em> and digital publishing assets (the \u201cAcquisition\u201d). While we recognize we have more work to do, we are confident that this Acquisition will open up multiple ways to create value.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>NEW LEADERSHIP TEAM <\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As we embark on this next step, we are pleased to announce the Board has unanimously approved two new leaders:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">\n          <strong>James Robertson<\/strong> as President and Chief Executive Officer.
