Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On September 14, 2010, the Company announced its financial results for its fiscal 2011 first quarter, which ended on August 31, 2010.  A copy of the press release announcing the earnings is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
 
Item 8.01.
Other Events

On September 13, 2010, the  Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a special cash dividend of $0.70 per share (the “Special Dividend”) payable on October 26, 2010 (the “Dividend Payment Date”) to shareholders of record of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on September 23, 2010 (the “Dividend Record Date”).  The Company’s Class A Common Stock will start trading on an ex-dividend basis beginning September 21, 2010 (the “Ex-Dividend Date”), in accordance with New York Stock Exchange rules. Shareholders who sell their shares on or before the Ex-Dividend Date will also be selling their right to receive the Special Dividend.  The aggregate amount of payments to be made in connection with the Special Dividend, the dividend equivalent rights described below and all other dividend equivalents provided under currently outstanding equity awards (assuming 100% vesting of equity awards) will be approximately $21 million.

Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Also on September 13, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board approved dividend equivalent rights with respect to the Special Dividend for all stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock held by the Company’s employees and non-employee directors (the “Special Dividend Equivalent Rights”), which provide for a cash payment in an amount equal to the Special Dividend for each share of Class A Common Stock underlying each outstanding stock option held on the Dividend Record Date. Additionally, the Compensation Committee and the Board provided and clarified that the dividend equivalents previously granted in connection with certain vested performance-based restricted stock units held by the Company’s employees and the restricted stock units held by the Company’s non-employee directors shall include and be payable with respect to the Special Dividend. Payment of the dividend equivalents with respect to the Special Dividend will occur on the terms provided for in the existing award agreements evidencing the stock options and restricted stock units and related dividend equivalents, but only to the extent that the shares underlying the stock options and restricted stock units vest.

The effect of the Special Dividend Equivalent Rights and the dividend equivalents is to provide the holders of outstanding stock options or such restricted stock units with the same economic value immediately after the time the Company’s common stock begins trading ex-dividend as such holder had immediately prior to such time. The outstanding dollar-denominated, performance-based restricted stock units that will be earned based on the Company’s performance for the three-year period ending May 31, 2011 do not have dividend equivalent rights.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates, and projections.  These statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict, and, therefore, actual results may differ materially.  Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
