Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 29, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing that, due to the continuing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and out of concern for the health and safety of its stockholders and other possible attendees at its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company has changed the format of the Annual Meeting in order to hold it as a virtual meeting only. The Annual Meeting will still be held at the previously-announced time and date of 8:30 a.m. Central Standard Time, on June 9, 2020. However, stockholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Rather, stockholders may attend the Annual Meeting only via remote communication as described in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 

The information in this Form 8-K and the attached Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
