Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company currently anticipates that the conditions to closing under the Merger Agreement will be satisfied upon receipt of antitrust clearance in Japan, which could be obtained as early as October 31, 2016, but which approval or timing is not assured. Assuming that Japanese antitrust approval is obtained within such timeframe, the Company currently expects that the Merger would be consummated in early November 2016.  In addition to Japanese antitrust approval, the Merger remains subject to other customary closing conditions.
