Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 3, 2020, each executive officer of the Company agreed to a temporary 25% reduction of base salary effective April 6, 2020, in light of the disruption and uncertainty created by the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and its then-anticipated impact on the operations of the Company. Effective January 1, 2021, the pre-pandemic base salaries of Ms. Doerre, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, and Mr. Reddy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will no longer be subject to a 25% reduction as the amendments to their respective employment agreements expire as of December 31, 2020.

Effective December 28, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to change its fiscal year end from December 31 to a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31, effective as of the commencement of the Company's fiscal year on January 1, 2021, to align the Company's reporting calendar with how the Company operates its business and improve comparability across periods. The Company's current fiscal year will end on December 31, 2020. In reliance on Exchange Act Release No. 26589, the Company will not file a transition report covering the transition period from December 31, 2020 to January 4, 2021.
