 Payne, Lloyd R. Samsand John M. Suzuki, to stand for re-election at the annual meeting.

We expect each nominee for director to be able to serve if elected. If any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those nominated and may be voted for substitute nominees, unless our Board of Directors chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board.

The directors elected at the annual meeting will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

We are of the view that the continuing service of qualified incumbent directors promotes stability and continuity in the function of the Board of Directors, contributing to the Board’s ability to work as a collective body, while giving us the benefit of the familiarity and insight into our affairs that our directors have accumulated during their tenure. When analyzing whether directors and nominees have the desired experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, individually and taken as a whole, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors focus on the information as summarized in each director’s individual biography, as set forth below. In particular, the Board selected Mr. Horowitz, the current Chairman of the Board, to serve as a director because of his extensive background in corporate governance, capital markets transactions, investment analysis and investor communications, including his executive management experience with Palm Management (US) LLC and experience as a director of several public companies. Mr. Horowitz also brings his more than 20 years of investing experience and significant strategic, consensus-building and management skills to the Company, as well as the perspective of one of our significant stockholders. Mr. Jackson provides extensive experience in the accounting and finance field and the experience of serving on the boards of directors of a number of other organizations. Mr. Lanktree brings extensive operational and leadership experience, wireless communications industry experience and public company experience to the Board, including experience as a Chief Executive Officer. Ms. O’Hara has extensive strategic, operational and executive leadership in the land mobile radio industry. General E. Gray Payne brings extensive strategic, operational and leadership experience and valuable insight into the military sector, having over 40 years of military operational and strategic expertise. Mr. Sams offers valuable insights obtained through his extensive experience in the private equity and banking industries, as well as his background and experience originating, underwriting, structuring, and ultimately exiting debt and equity transactions. Mr. Suzuki brings extensive experience in the land mobile radio industry and executive leadership in the industry.

Recommendation of the
