Item 5. Other Events.
In the Registrant's Proxy Statement dated April 6, 1999 regarding the
Registrant's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders were notified
that a stockholder proposal intended for inclusion in the proxy statement and
form of proxy for the Registrant's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders had to be
received by the Registrant before December 8, 1999. The December 8, 1999
deadline was calculated in accordance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Rule 14a-8") and the Registrant's By-Laws
which set the deadline at 120 days prior to the anniversary of the previous
annual meeting date.
The Registrant's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on
June 22, 2000. Since this date is more than thirty days after the anniversary of
the Registrant's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Rule 14a-8 and the
Registrant's By-Laws require that the date by which stockholder proposals must
be received by the Registrant for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of
proxy for the Registrant's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders be changed to a
date which is a reasonable time before the Registrant begins to print and mail
proxy materials.
In light of the foregoing, a stockholder proposal intended for
inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the Registrant's 2000
Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Registrant before May 12,
2000 at the Registrant's executive offices ("Executive Offices") located at 425
Metro Place North, Suite 300, Dublin, Ohio 43017-1367, Attention: Brent Larson.
Also, a stockholder who wishes to nominate a candidate for election to
the Board of Directors must follow the procedures set forth in Article III,
Section 2 of the Registrant's By-Laws. A copy of these procedures is available
upon request from the Registrant at the Registrant's Executive Offices,
Attention: Brent Larson. In order for a stockholder to nominate a candidate for
the Board of Directors election at the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
notice of the nomination must be delivered to the Registrant's Executive
Offices, Attention: Brent Larson, before May 12, 2000.
