Item 5. Other Events
Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Rubio, has advised us that effective as of November 12, 2001 he has entered into an amended selling plan agreement, in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1. This amended agreement supersedes and replaces a previously announced selling plan Mr. Rubio entered into dated as of May 14, 2001 to sell up to 27,375 of the over 1 million shares of our common stock currently owned by Mr. Rubio.
The amount of shares to be sold will remain unchanged under the amended plan, and, as previously announced, will be sold in specified amounts at the then prevailing market price, subject to specified limitations. According to this amended plan, selling will commence on the first trading day of January 2003 instead of commencing on the first trading day of January 2002 as originally contemplated under the superseded selling plan. This amended plan also extends the expiration date of the selling plan from December 2002 to December 2003, unless terminated sooner in accordance with its terms.
We anticipate that, as permitted by SEC Rule 10b5-1 and our insider trading policy, some or all of our officers, directors and other insiders may establish and/or amend trading plans at some date in the future.
