Laphen, et al., Case No. A-12-661695-C (District Court, Clark County, Nevada), Himmel v. Laphen, et al., Case No. A-12-670190-C (District Court, Clark County, Nevada) and Hung v. Laphen et. al, Case No. CL-2011-18046 (Circuit Court, Fairfax County, Virginia) (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”) brought against certain current and former officers and directors (previously disclosed). The settlement is dependent upon final approval by the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (“Court”). If approved by the Court, the release contained in the settlement would release the claims asserted in the Derivative Actions as well as those asserted in Morefield v. Bailey, et al., 1:12-cv-01468-GBL-TCB (U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia), another previously disclosed derivative action brought against the same defendants.
The Stipulation was filed with the Court on September 17, 2013. On September 27, 2013, the Court issued an Order Preliminarily Approving Derivative Settlement and Providing for Notice (“Preliminary Order”).
Pursuant to the Stipulation and the Preliminary Order, the Company is filing a copy of the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Shareholder Derivative Actions (“Notice”) as an exhibit to this report on Form 8-K.
