Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company has approved policies permitting executive officers and directors of the Company to adopt pre-arranged trading plans (the “Rule 10b5-1 Plans”) designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Rule 10b5-1 Plans are designed to allow individuals to sell shares in an orderly fashion for asset diversification, liquidity, tax planning and other purposes when they might otherwise be restricted from doing so due to their possession of material, non-public information at the time of the sale.
In accordance with the Company’s internal policies, each Rule 10b5-1 Plan may only be adopted during an authorized trading period and when the individual adopting the plan is not in possession of material non-public information. Each Rule 10b5-1 Plan will include a mandatory waiting period before trades commence.
The Company’s directors and executive officers may enter into Rule 10b5-1 Plans in the future from time to time. The Company does not undertake in the future to report the adoption of Rule 10b5-1 Plans by any director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company, or to report any modification or termination of any Rule 10b5-1 Plan, except to the extent required by law. Trades under the Rule 10b5-1 Plans will be reported through Form 144 and Form 4 filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required.
The information disclosed in this Item 7.01 is being furnished, not filed. By furnishing the information in this Item 7.01, the Company is making no admission as to the materiality of such information.
