ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
On March 22, 2011, the Company, announced the proposed offering of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2016 (the “Notes”). The Company’s press release announcing the launch of the offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1.
ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan may have a negative impact on the operations of the business of Photronics, Inc. (the “Company”) as well as some of its most important suppliers and customers. The earthquake and ensuing tsunami have severely damaged the infrastructure in the region including roads, ports and other transportation networks, power generation and distribution facilities and other industrial facilities in a large swath of northeastern Japan. Many industrial plants in the area including facilities of some of the Company’s suppliers have been forced operate at reduced levels. Damage assessments are being made by the Company’s suppliers. It is too early to accurately gauge the likely extent and duration of any possible disruption to their operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not face disruptions to its supply chain. Any significant or extended disruptions to the Company’s supply chain could have a material adverse affect on its business and results of operations.
