FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement by Fernando Aguirre on the Passing of Former Chairman Carl Lindner, Jr.
Carl Lindner, Jr. was a great leader, innovator, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He measured success by improving the lives and opportunities of others. We were all honored to learn from his example of community involvement with heartfelt generosity and little care for recognition. His legacy exemplifies the American Dream of what an individual can achieve and contribute to their community through a lifetime of innovation. Our community has lost a great leader but his example endures. We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Edyth, and all their family and thank them for sharing him with us.
