NOTICE OF ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF Urantia FOUNDATION

At a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees of Urantia Foundation on January 7, 1984, the Trustees dismissed Thomas A. Kendall as President and elected Martin W. Myers as President and Arthur M. Burch as Vice President. In addition, the Trustees agreed to commence the process necessary to remove Thomas A. Kendall as a Trustee of Urantia Foundation.

The removal process is set out in the By-Laws of Urantia Foundation and lasts for a total of seven months, during which the remaining Trustees must unanimously vote at three successive quarterly meetings for the removal of Thomas A. Kendall as Trustee. At each of these quarterly meetings Thomas A. Kendall will be invited to present his position prior to the vote of the remaining Trustees as to his removal.

During this seven-month period Thomas A. Kendall has been formally suspended from his rights, duties, prerogatives and responsibilities as a Trustee and is not entitled to participate in the affairs of Urantia Foundation, nor to represent Urantia Foundation.

For reasons known to the Board of Trustees and specified to Thomas A. Kendall, Thomas A. Kendall was asked to resign, but having declined to do so, the remaining Trustees have had no alternative but to proceed as outlined above.

The foregoing actions have been undertaken with the deepest regret.
