On August 22, 2012, the Company issued a press release reporting its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The press release, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1, and the information included in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K, are incorporated herein by reference.

The earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures.

In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures set forth in the earnings release on the reconciliation schedules attached to the earnings release.

The disclosure contained in Item 2.02 is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in Items 2.02 and 7.01, as well as Exhibit 99.1, is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information may be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 only if and to the extent such subsequent filing specifically references such information.
