Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 24, 2009 the Company learned that a member of its audit committee
serves on the audit committees of three other public companies. In such event,
Rule 303A.07(a) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual provides
that the board of directors must determine that such simultaneous service does
not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the listed
company's audit committee and disclose such determination in the listed
company's annual proxy statement or, if the company does not file an annual
proxy statement, in the company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
The Company's Board promptly considered this matter and determined that service
on those other audit committees did not impair the member's ability to serve on
the Company's audit committee. Moreover, the member is not standing for
re-election to one of the other boards and will conclude his service on that
board in May 2009.
