Item 5. Other Events.
The Company today (December 3, 2001) filed a registration statement on Form S-8 for the issuance of up to 650,000 shares of Simula’s common stock under two of its employee benefit plans: the Simula, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and the Simula, Inc. 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“1999 Plan”). Under the ESPP, all Company employees are eligible to purchase shares of common stock of the Company through payroll deductions. Since 1996, employees have purchased nearly all of the 400,000 shares that were initially issued under the ESPP. To enable continued employee purchases, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the issuance of up to an additional 200,000 shares under the ESPP. The Company anticipates seeking shareholder approval of the issuance at the Company’s next annual meeting.
The Company also registered the 450,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan that were approved at the Company’s last annual meeting of shareholders on June 7, 2001.
