Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations

 

At its meeting on November 1, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved May 2, 2013, as the date for the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Because the Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days from the date of the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the deadline for submitting any qualified shareholder proposal under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission is a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials. Because the Company currently intends to print and send its proxy materials beginning on or about March 31, 2013, such nominations or proposals are now due to the Company no later than March 1, 2013.
