Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Under Rule 10b5- 1, directors, officers and employees may adopt written pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material non-public information in order to diversify their investment portfolios and make market trades of our common stock regardless of any material, non-public information they may receive after adopting their plans. The actual transactions by directors and executive officers under these plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a matter of policy, we do not report on Rule 10b5-1 plans entered into by non-executive officers or other employees.
On December 19, 2006, we issued shares of restricted stock to executive officers and other officers and senior managers pursuant to a shareholder approved plan, including Kenneth W. Johnson, Senior Vice President and General Counsel. The restrictions on Mr. Johnson’s shares lapse in part on November 15, 2007, and in part on May 15, 2008, and upon each such lapse he will be deemed to have received wage income and be subject to federal withholding obligations. Mr. Johnson has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 plan to permit sales of 1,200 shares of our common stock after each of the restrictions lapse in order to generate sufficient cash to cover those withholding obligations; he is retaining ownership of a majority of his restricted stock award. All sales will be in the open market at prevailing market prices. His plan terminates no later than May 30, 2008.
By reports on Form 8-K filed on March 27, 2007, and June 7, 2007, we described Rule 10b5-1 plans with respect to certain shares of restricted stock vesting on June 30, 2007, held by certain named executive officers. All sales covered by those plans have been completed.
