Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On February 25, 2005, both the Chief Executive Officer and the President of our company exercised an aggregate of 511,350 and 426,850 outstanding stock options, respectively, of our common stock. The exercise prices of $1,307,000 for the Chief Executive Officer and $1,091,000 for the President were paid by each of them tendering to the Company 90,513 and 75,556 shares, respectively, of our common stock, previously owned by them, valued at $14.44 per share, the fair market value on the date of exercise. All shares issued pursuant to these option exercises were issued from our treasury stock. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer tendered an additional 10,388 shares for partial payment of withholding taxes resulting from his option exercise. As a result of this transaction, we expect to receive a tax benefit of approximately $600,000, which will be reflected as an increase to additional paid‑in capital in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Each of the Chief Executive Officer and the President agreed to hold their shares for investment and not with a view towards distribution. The above transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act.
