Decision

We feel that David Hughes & Seth Horkum are the most appropriate candidates
for the position

If we see from the long term prospects, consideration of hiring a younger talent
would prove to be more beneficial.

RSHs platform could push Seth to star rankings & make him a loyal asset for the
company.

Thus in our view Seth should be offered the Senior Analyst position for the
semiconductor industry.
