Today's agreement follows actions taken by Relational in December 2006 to solicit proxies for a resolution to be brought before The Home Depot's annual meeting seeking an independent committee to evaluate strategy and to elect nominees of Relational to The Home Depot board. Under the agreement, Relational has withdrawn its resolution and will not solicit proxies at this year's annual meeting.
Batchelder is a director of Washington Group International and ConAgra Foods, Inc. He has served on seven other public company boards during his 25-year career.
