Item 8.01.              Other Events.

 

On April 27, 2012, we filed with the SEC a proxy statement relating to the special meeting in lieu of the annual meeting of our shareholders to be held on June 7, 2012. In the proxy statement, we submitted a proposal to our shareholders to approve amendments to our 2006 equity incentive plan, including increasing the number of shares of our common stock issuable under the plan by 2,500,000 shares.

 

In response to external feedback, we have agreed to adopt a policy with respect to the maximum number of equity awards that we will grant under our 2006 equity incentive plan. If our shareholders approve the proposed amendments to the plan at the special meeting, it will be our policy that we will not, without further shareholder approval, grant equity awards under the plan that require the use of more than 1,700,000 shares (as such shares are counted under the plan) of the 2,500,000 additional shares being requested pursuant to the proposed amendments to the plan.
