Item 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

 

Subsequent to the distribution of our 2005 Proxy Statement, we received feedback from Institutional Shareholder Services regarding our 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended (the “Plan”).  As a result, effective May 12, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved a modification to the Plan to further clarify that the administrator of the Plan may not buyout for a payment in cash or shares of company common stock, stock options outstanding under the Plan.  Further amendments to the Plan have been proposed by our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and are subject to approval from the company’s shareholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting.

 

A copy of the modified plan will be filed as an exhibit to our Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2005.
