(the "Company"), entered into a Sales Plan with a securities brokerage firm to sell up to an aggregate of 113,950 shares of the Company's common stock. The aggregate number of shares to be sold pursuant to the Sales Plan is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and other recapitalization events.
The Sales Plan directs the brokerage firm to sell a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock at market prices, subject to certain limitations. The sales are to be made on dates and at price targets as specified in the Sales Plan over a period of 7 months, beginning in February of 2008, subject to earlier termination of the Sales Plan. All sales of shares pursuant to the Sales Plan are subject to the terms and conditions of the plan.
The Sales Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 10b5-1 permits insiders to sell shares of stock over a designated period of time by establishing pre-arranged written plans at a time when the insiders are not in possession of material non-public information.
