TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 11, 2006, we reported an agreement in
principle for the settlement of outstanding claims in the matter entitled William Childers v.
Sandra N. Bane, et al., Case No. BC337945. The Court has scheduled a hearing for December 4,
2006 to: (a) determine the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the terms and conditions of
the proposed settlement; (b) determine whether the Court should finally approve the settlement and
enter a final judgment and order of dismissal thereon; and (c) rule upon the agreed-to fee award
for plaintiff’s counsel. We intend to mail, to our stockholders of record as of August 30, 2006,
the Notice of Settlement attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, which describes in further detail the
proposed settlement and the hearing. We expect this mailing will
commence on October 2, 2006.
