to the Company's board of directors (the "Board") at the
April 23, 2015 annual meeting of shareholders of the

currently the Chairman of the Board, and he indicated
that his decision not to stand for re-election was
motivated by his desire to focus on his health. Mr. Weis
has served as an employee, director or officer since 1946
and was appointed Chairman of the Board in April
2002 .
Effective following the Annual Meeting, Mr.
Weis will be appointed to the honorary, non-voting position
of Chairman Emeritus
in recognition of his many years of
service to the Company .
A copy of the Company's news release
announcing the matter described above is attached as Exhibit
99.1 to this Form 8-K.
The Company is also filing additional
definitive proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange
Commission related to the Annual Meeting to disclose, among
other things: (i) the effect on proxies of Mr. Weis'
decision not to stand for re-election to the Board;
(ii) the Board's determination (A) to reduce the size of
the Board from six members to five members, effective at the
Annual Meeting, and (B) to elect the current Vice Chairman of
the Board and the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer, Jonathan H. Weis, to be the new Chairman of the Board
provided that he is elected as a member of the Board at the
Annual Meeting (and therefore to no longer separate the roles
of Chairman and CEO ).
