Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company received a "Wells" call on Thursday, August 9, 2007, from the Staff of the Division of Enforcement (the "Staff") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in connection with the previously disclosed investigation into the Company's historical stock option granting practices. The Staff informed the Company that it intends to seek authority from the Commission to file charges in connection with its investigation, and that it also intends to seek authority from the Commission to seek a civil monetary penalty. The Staff informed the Company that it could make a submission to the Commission and the Staff that the Company thought appropriate (a "Wells" submission). The Staff informed the Company that it would consider the content of the Wells submission and provide the submission to the Commission before the Commission ultimately makes its charging and penalty decisions. The Company continues to cooperate with the Staff and continues to expect to resolve this investigation by means of a settlement rather than a contested litigation of charges, and believes that the "Wells" call represents a significant step forward towards that resolution.
