Item 8.01.  Other Information.

As previously disclosed, the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders is expected to be held on December 18, 2018 (the “December 2018 Annual Meeting”). 

Because the December 2018 Annual Meeting is expected to be held on a date that is more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the January 2018 Annual Meeting, the Company has set a reasonable deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals for the December 2018 Annual Meeting. 

In order to be included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the December 2018 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be submitted by July 10, 2018 to the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices.  The Company has determined that such date is a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials for the December 2018 Annual Meeting.  The inclusion of any such proposal in such proxy material shall be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

Likewise, because the December 2018 Annual Meeting is expected to be held on a date that is more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the January 2018 Annual Meeting, the Company’s amended and restated by-laws (the “By-Laws”) require that the Secretary of the Company must receive nominations for directors or stockholder proposals submitted for presentation at the December 2018 Annual Meeting (other than proposals submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy) at its principal executive offices no earlier than August 20, 2018 and no later than September 19, 2018.  Any such nominations or proposals must be in accordance with the requirements and procedures outlined in the By-Laws and summarized herein.

The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 2222 North 111th Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68164.
