Material Changes
- Expiration of Rights Agreement: The Rights Agreement entered into on October 29, 2008, with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., automatically terminated on October 28, 2009. Termination occurred because the agreement was not put to a vote and thus was not ratified by a majority of outstanding capital stock.
- Executive Compensation Policy Change: On October 30, 2009, the Compensation Committee resolved to cease entering into new employment agreements or materially amending existing ones for executives if they contain excise tax gross-up provisions.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no financial guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding future business performance. The primary risk addressed is the lapse of the poison pill protection (Rights Agreement) due to lack of shareholder ratification. The filing explicitly states that the information provided is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and shall not be incorporated by reference into other filings.
Investor Verification Checklist
