Trading Plans

Andrew Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, intends to adopt a prearranged trading plan during the Company's next open trading window, in accordance with the guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and the Company’s trading policies (the “Plan”).  The Plan is being entered into as part of Mr. Gordon’s long-term asset diversification and tax and financial planning strategies.  Trading under the Plan is expected to commence in early April 2014.

Rule 10b5-1 plans permit insiders to sell fixed portions of their holdings over a designated period of time by establishing the prearranged written plans at a time when they are not in possession of material non-public information.  Such programs generally allow for regular selling of a predetermined, fixed number of a company’s securities in order to diversify the individual’s investment portfolio, minimize market effect of share sales by spreading them out over an extended period of time and avoid concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material non-public information.

As of February 26, 2014, Mr. Andrew Gordon beneficially owned approximately 340,381 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented approximately 5.3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  Under the terms of his trading plan, Mr. Gordon could sell up tp 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, but only if the stock meets the minimum price threshold as specified in the Plan.

The summary of the foregoing Plan set forth above is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the terms of the Plan. The Plan is intended to comply with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1. Any transactions under the Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings and, if applicable, Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The term of the Plan extends through March 2015 unless terminated earlier for certain circumstances.  Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific plans by the Company’s other officers or directors, or modifications, transactions or other activities under the Plan.
