Item 8.01 Other Events.
Certain directors and officers of Company adopt from time to time pre-arranged trading plans (each, a "Plan") designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company's policies regarding stock transactions. Under Rule 10b5-1, directors, officers and other persons who are not in possession of material non-public information may adopt a plan or contract for pre-arranged sales of Company securities under specified conditions and at specified times. Using these Plans, insiders can gradually diversify their investment portfolios, spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce market impact and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess inside information.
The Plan adopted by Mr. Thomas Burgomaster, Chief Accounting Officer of the
Company, provides for the sale of up to 18,492 shares, including shares acquired
upon exercise of stock options, over a period ending
The Company does not undertake to report Plans that may be adopted by any directors, officers or affiliates of the Company in the future, or to report any modification or termination of any Plan, except to the extent required by law.
