Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 9, 2012, we entered into an Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to sell shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $1.00 per share, having an aggregate sales price of up to $50 million, from time to time, through an “at the market” equity offering program under which Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. will act as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”).

 

The sales, if any, of the Shares made under the Sales Agreement will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may also sell Shares to the Sales Agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell Shares to the Sales Agent as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with the Sales Agent.

 

The Sales Agreement provides that the Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation for its services that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the gross sales price per share of all Shares sold through it as agent under the Sales Agreement.  The Sales Agent is also entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable expenses in an amount not to exceed $50,000. We are not obligated to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreement, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the agreement.  Further, the Sales Agreement can be terminated by the Company or the Sales Agent at any time.

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-169495).  Concurrently herewith, we are filing a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), dated August 9, 2012, with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

 

In the ordinary course of their business, the Sales Agent and/or its affiliates have in the past provided, and may continue to provide, certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us for which the Sales Agent and/or its affiliates have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions.  In addition, the Sales Agent has advised that from time to time, it and/or its affiliates have in the past effected, and may continue to effect, transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and have held, and may continue to hold, on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our equity securities or loans.

 

This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor shall there by any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

 

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Also attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1, and incorporated by reference to the Prospectus Supplement, is the opinion of SNR Denton US LLP relating to the validity of the Shares.
