Proxy Vote: Sign Sullivan Principles.

Annual meeting date: April 30.

South African operations: According to spokesman Michael Decker, the company sells parts for mining machinery and employs 13 to 15 workers, some of whom are South African nationals. Decker said the company "endorses" the Sullivan Principles, but is not a signatory because the company's operations there are so limited. It costs about $7000 a year to have the Arthur D. Little Co., a Cambridge consulting firm, review a company's operations to see if it is complying.
