Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
We are conducting a search for an additional member of our board of directors with the intention of appointing the new director as soon as practicable, but no longer than six months, after our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on March 9, 2011. We intend that our new director will not only satisfy the independence requirements under the Nasdaq listing requirements but will have no material connection to PTC (that is, no material financial, personal, business, or other relationship that a reasonable person could conclude could potentially influence boardroom objectivity) prior to being appointed to the Board.
