On September 13, 2011, the Board of Directors of Mexco Energy Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Kenneth L. Clayton to the Board of Directors effective September 13, 2011. This appointment increases the total Board count to six members. Mr. Clayton is expected to stand for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on September 11, 2012 to serve for a term of one year.
Mr. Clayton, 67, served as Senior Vice-President, managing the trust division of Capital National Bank in Houston and served on various management committees of the bank and its parent company from 1970 through 1984. Mr. Clayton has practiced law since 1984 and currently serves as President of Fiduciary Resources Company, a company he founded in 1984 to provide business management services to individual executors of decedents’ estates and trustees of testamentary trusts.
The Board has determined that Mr. Clayton is “independent” within the meaning of Section 121A of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide and he has no material relationship or reportable transactions with the Company under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
