On November 5, 2008, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1), Preformed Line Products Company (the “Company”) provided notice to Nasdaq of non-compliance with the Nasdaq listing standard requiring that Nasdaq companies have Board of Directors comprised of a majority of independent directors. The Company’s non-compliance resulted from the death on November 4, 2008 of Frank B. Carr, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board intends to review candidates to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Carr’s death in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq independent directors requirement. The Board intends to act as promptly as practical and, in any case, before the end of cure period provided by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1).
