Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 28, 2014, Taylor L. Reid, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into a planned trading program pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as a "10b5-1 plan." Rule 10b5-1 provides guidelines for officers, directors and other insiders to prearrange sales of their company’s securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating stock transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information. Other officers and directors of the Company may adopt plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 in the future.
Actual transactions completed under individual 10b5-1 plans will be reported from time to time on forms filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in order to comply with the disclosure requirements of our insider trading policy. Except as may be required by law, we do not undertake to report modifications, terminations or other activities under current or future 10b5-1 plans established by our officers and directors.
