On Ash Wednesday, we will begin with public actions, not just for one day and not just for one company.

We must get the talks moving with visible action in the factories.

Our positions have drifted far apart.

I think there are some actions the company will have to take and some expenses the company will have to incur that will make it tough. I still think given those parameters, it can be, stay and remain an independent company and eventually flourish.

Today's actions are significant steps in moving the company toward best practices in corporate governance and compensation matters.

The company is taking the actions required for long-term profitability but whenever a company has to do this it can be painful for investors.
