Item 8.01 Other Events.
Given Vocus, Inc.’s (the "Company") role as a leading marketing cloud provider, the Company believes that in today’s evolving digital environment those interested in the Company look to various communication channels for information about the Company. The Company announces material information using its investor relations website (http://investor.shareholder.com/vocs), filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. The Company also uses social media and other internet sources to communicate with its customers and the public about the Company, its services and other issues.
Given the recent SEC guidance regarding the use of social media channels to announce material information, the Company is notifying investors, the media, its customers and others interested in the Company that it may communicate material, non-public information through social media or other internet sources or that information that it posts on social media or other internet sources may be deemed to be material, non-public information information. The Company encourages investors, the media, its customers and others interested in the Company to review the information that it posts on the social media channels and internet sources listed below. Any changes to the list of social media channels and internet sources that the Company may use to announce material, non-public information will be posted in the Investor Relations section of its website.
