Material Changes
On December 18, 2012, the Dan A. Emmett Revocable Living Trust and Rivermouth Partners, LP adopted new Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to replace expiring plans. These plans contemplate the continuation of aggregate monthly sales of 140,000 shares of the Company's common stock over the next two years.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Management Commentary: The plans are designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and the Company's insider trading policies. Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated will act as the agent to effect sales without the direction of Mr. Emmett.
- Ownership Impact: The aggregate sales contemplated represent less than a quarter of the common stock equivalents currently beneficially owned by Dan A. Emmett, Chairman of the Board.
- Risks and Contingencies: There can be no assurance that any shares will be sold under the Plans. The Company does not undertake to report on modifications or terminations of these plans in the future.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of shares beneficially owned by Dan A. Emmett to confirm the "less than a quarter" sales threshold.
- Monitor future filings for any modifications or terminations of the Rule 10b5-1 plans, as the Company does not commit to reporting such changes.
- Review the Company's most recent 10-K or 10-Q for actual financial performance metrics, as this 8-K contains no financial data.
