Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a new Section 2.8 of its By-Laws establishing a procedure for handling shareholders’ requests that a legal claim be brought on behalf of the Company against one or more of its directors for breach of duty to the Company under applicable law (a “Legal Claim”). If the Board receives a written demand for a Legal Claim from a shareholder that gives notice of supporting evidence, the By-Laws provide that the Board must conduct a review and evaluation of the demand to determine whether the bringing of a legal claim as requested would be in the best interests of the Company. The bylaw contains certain procedures in connection with such a request.
