Item 8.01  Other Events.
 
On November 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase of up to $5 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, effective November 22, 2011. Repurchases under the program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18.

The Company, however, has no obligation to repurchase shares under this authorization, and the timing, actual number and value of shares to be purchased will depend on the Company’s stock price and other market conditions.
