SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS
Section 8.01 Other Events
James B. Morgan, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Daktronics, Inc. (the “Company), has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to sell up to a total of 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Portions of the shares may be sold at any time the stock achieves certain prearranged minimum prices and sales may take place beginning on June 21, 2010 and ending on August 27, 2010 unless the plan is terminated sooner. The amount of shares sold on a single day is limited to a maximum of 10,000 shares and the number of shares sold in a week is limited to 15,000 shares. Mr. Morgan will not have any control over the timing of any sales under the plan and there can be no assurance that the shares covered by the plan actually will be sold. Mr. Morgan entered into the plan in order to diversify his financial holdings and will continue to have a significant ownership interest in the Company because these shares represent less than 1% of all shares beneficially owned by him. As such, these shares are not significant to his total interest in the Company.
This trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy. Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish prearranged written plans to buy or sell a specified number of shares of a company’s stock over a set period of time. A plan must be entered into in good faith at a time when the insider is not in possession of material, nonpublic information. Subsequent receipt by the insider of material, nonpublic information will not prevent transactions under the plan from being executed.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
