Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 25, 2011, our Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Nadine C. Smith, entered into a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan” to purchase shares of our common stock. Ms. Smith’s plan calls for her to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock per week at the prevailing market price (subject to a limit of $2.00 per share) over a period of up to twelve weeks, until a maximum of $200,000 worth of shares has been purchased. The purchases under the plan are intended be carried out within the safe-harbor requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to purchases of an issuer’s securities by the issuer or certain affiliates of the issuer. The volume limitations under Rule 10b-18 may limit the number of shares purchased Ms. Smith in any given week.
