Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 28, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Special Committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors has retained Sullivan & Cromwell LLP as its independent legal counsel and is in the process of engaging an independent financial advisor.
As previously announced on September 19, 2012, the Special Committee was formed to consider, among other things, the unsolicited, non-binding proposal from David C.

Since the announcement of the Collins Proposal, the Special Committee has received additional indications of interest regarding an acquisition of the Company.
