OTHER EVENTS.

Trading Plans
Andrew Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and David Gordon, Senior Vice President-Operations of the Company, intend to adopt prearranged trading plans during the Company's next open trading window, in accordance with the guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and the Company’s trading policies. The trading plans are being entered into as part of each person’s individual long-term asset diversification and tax and financial planning strategies. Trading under the trading plans is expectef to commence in early April 2012.
Rule 10b5-1 plans permit insiders to sell fixed portions of their holdings over a designated period of time by establishing the prearranged written plans at a time when they are not in possession of material non-public information. Such programs generally allow for regular selling of a predetermined, fixed number of a company’s securities in order to diversify the individual’s investment portfolio, minimize market effect of share sales by spreading them out over an extended period of time and avoid concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material non-public information.
As of March 9, 2012, Mr. Andrew Gordon beneficially owned approximately 892,908 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 13.98% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the terms of his trading plan, Mr. Andrew Gordon could sell all of his shares of the Company’s common stock, but only if the stock meets the minimum price threshold as specified in the plan (which is expected to be a significant premium to the trading price of the Company’s common stock as of the close on the day prior to this Current Report on Form 8-K).

As of March 9, 2012, David Gordon beneficially owned approximately 944,908 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 14.80% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under the terms of his trading plan, Mr. David Gordon could sell all of his shares of the Company’s common stock, but only if the stock meets the minimum price thresholds as specified in the plan (which is expected to be a significant premium to the trading price of the Company’s common stock as of the close on the day prior to this Current Report on Form 8-K).
The summaries of the foregoing Plans set forth above are not intended to be comprehensive descriptions of the terms of such Plans. Each Plan is intended to comply with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1. Any transactions under the plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 and, if applicable, Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The terms of the plans extend through March 2013 unless terminated earlier for certain circumstances. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific plans by the Company’s other officers or directors, or modifications, transactions or other activities under the plans of Andrew Gordon and David Gordon.
Quarterly Dividend
In addition, on March 9, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing that its quarterly dividend of $0.03 will be paid on April 30, 2012 to shareholders of record as of April 17, 2012. The press release announcing the dividend is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
