Jeff W. Dick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “We are very excited to migrate to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our market cap is currently just over $175 million, and our goal is to create more liquidity in our shares for our stockholders.

This means the Company will file annual reports with the SEC on Form10-K, quarterly reports on Form10-Q, current reports on Form8-K, and subject itself to additional reporting obligations related to proxies, shareholder actions and stock ownership rules.
