Patrick Nicholson. Due to sales by Mr. Nicholson of the Company's common stock on September 25 and 26, 2003, he ceased to be the beneficial owner of at least 17.50% of the Company's common stock as of that date, as reflected in reports filed by Mr. Nicholson under Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and, therefore, his share of Preferred Stock became redeemable. On May 13, 2005, the Board of Directors voted to redeem Mr. Nicholson's share of Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Certificate of Designation"), a copy of which was filed with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed April 14, 2004. As provided in Section 7(F) of the Certificate of Designation, the term of office of Brian P. Burns shall end and Mr. Burns shall be deemed to have resigned upon the redemption of Mr. Nicholson's share of Preferred Stock. The Board did not replace Mr. Burns at this time. SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
