Section 8 - - Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 5, 2006, Glen Wiley, Vice President of Sales adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to sell 13,500 of his shares of MathStar’s common stock at the open market at prevailing market prices. Mr. Wiley’s plan expires on January 8, 2016. Mr. Wiley has informed MathStar that his plan has been put in place in order to generate sufficient cash to cover taxes when his restricted stock award vests on January 9, 2007. This Rule 10b5-1 plan was set up in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s policies regarding stock transactions.
Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers and directors to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. Using these plans, insiders can gradually diversify their investment portfolios and spread stock trades over a period of time regardless of any material, non-public information they may receive after adopting their plans. The transactions under these plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
