Item 8.01               Other Events

Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a-8 relating to shareholder proposals provides that shareholders who wish to make a proposal under the Rule must submit such proposal no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the prior year’s proxy statement release to shareholders.  Our 2011 proxy statement was released to shareholders on May 4, 2011, but the date that it specified for the submission of shareholder proposals for possible inclusion in our 2012 proxy statement was incorrect.  That date should have read January 4, 2012.  Consequently, we have determined to extend the deadline and will not assert untimeliness in respect of proposals received by us on or before January 24, 2012.
