December 17, 2007
Mike Staffaroni, President and CEO
Heelys, Inc.
3200 Belmeade Drive
Suite 100
Carrollton, TX 75006
Dear Mike:
Effective immediately, I am resigning from the board of directors of Heelys, Inc.
As you know, I strongly support your vision for the company and your strategy for realizing it. Regrettably, a majority of the directors voted at the November meeting for an ultimatum expressing dissatisfaction with your performance, an action I openly opposed (that is not reflected in the minutes) and one that I feel signals an unjustified lack of confidence in you and your strategy. I am unable and unwilling to support the majority’s alternatives and directives.
You have put together a first rate management team and led Heelys to extraordinary success. I have greatly enjoyed my association with you and wish you well.
Sincerely,
Jim Kindley
