Employer jurisdiction of File Number) Identification No.) incorporation) 7060 South Yale Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74136 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (918) 494-0964 N/A (Former name or former address, if changed since last report.) (Page 1 of 3 pages) ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS. Harry D. Jones has resigned as a member of the Registrant's Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective May 14, 1996. Mr. Jones had previously declined to stand for re-election to the Board at the Registrant's annual meeting of the stockholders to be held on June 5, 1996, in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the "Annual Meeting"). The vacancy on the Board will be filled by the Registrant's stockholders at the Annual Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof. The remaining members on the Board have decided that it is unnecessary to immediately fill the vacancy created by Mr. Jones' resignation due to the proximity of the Annual Meeting. This item is reported under Item 5 of this Form 8-K rather than Item 6 because Mr. Jones' resignation was not the result of a disagreement with the Registrant on any matter relating to the Registrant's operations, policies or practices. Mr. Jones indicated that he is looking forward to participating in the Registrant's business as a stockholder. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
