The shares to be repurchased under the Trading Plan would be purchased in accordance with and subject to the limitations of the stock repurchase program announced on August 17, 2011.
After the expiration of the Trading Plan, the Company may from time to time enter into subsequent trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.
