Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans
On May 2, 2007, RadioShack Corporation (the “Company”) sent a notice to participants in the RadioShack 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) informing them that the 401(k) Plan would be modifying certain of the investment alternatives in the 401(k) Plan, including removing certain investment funds from the 401(k) Plan. The notice stated that, during a specified period of time while these changes are implemented, participants in the 401(k) Plan would not be able to, among other things, access their accounts to direct or diversify their investments or obtain a loan or a distribution from the 401(k) Plan. The notice stated that this time period was expected to begin at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 25, 2007 and end on June 30, 2007. This period is referred to as the “Blackout Period.”
On May 2, 2007, the Company sent a blackout restriction notice (the “BTR Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them that, because the restrictions during the Blackout Period include restrictions on investment changes involving the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) held in the 401(k) Plans, they would be prohibited during the Blackout Period, pursuant to Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s rules promulgated thereunder, from purchasing and selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including derivative securities pertaining to such shares) acquired in connection with their service as a director or employment as an executive officer.
A copy of the BTR Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to applicable regulations, directors and executive officers of the Company may obtain, without charge, information regarding the Blackout Period, including the actual ending date of the Blackout Period, by contacting Steve Milton, Assistant Corporate Secretary, RadioShack Corporation, 300 RadioShack Circle, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, (817) 415-3700, before and during the Blackout Period, and the Assistant Corporate Secretary, RadioShack Corporation, 300 RadioShack Circle, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, for a period of two years thereafter.
