Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 25, 2013, we notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that due to the death on July 19, 2013 of Kenneth K Chalmers, a member of our Board of Directors and a member of our Audit Committee, we would fail to satisfy Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as the number of directors serving on our Audit Committee would be reduced to two members instead of the three members required. The NYSE Listing Standards provide that if a listed company’s noncompliance with the NYSE’s corporate governance standards results from the death or illness of a director, the issuer will not be added to the NYSE’s list of issuers that are noncompliant with the NYSE’s quantitative and corporate governance listing standards until six months after the event rendering the company noncompliant. Therefore, we have six months to appoint a third member to our Audit Committee before we would be placed on the NYSE Noncompliance List. We anticipate appointing a new Audit Committee member in order to comply with NYSE requirements within this time frame.
