withdrawn his name as a nominee to be elected as a director of RRI at its annual
meeting of stockholders to be held on June 6, 2002. Mr. Miller, principal of
Philip B. Miller Associates, a consulting firm, informed RRI that the time
demands of serving as a director and as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors have interfered with his ability to manage his consulting
firm. RRI does not intend to propose a substitute nominee to be voted on at the
annual meeting of stockholders.
