Re: Board of Director
Thank you for the great opportunity to have served on the GLDD Board of Directors for the past years. I have been honored to be a part of the company and will treasure the many relationships developed during that time. Regrettably, the time demands of my own businesses require me to resign my Director position effective year end.
I wish you all the happiest of holiday seasons and best wishes for a great 2015.
| Sincerely, |
| /s/ Stephen H. Bittel |
