Item 8.01  Other Events.

 

Dr. Prem Nath, Vice President of Manufacturing, recently adopted a stock trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under Rule 10b5-1, directors, officers and other employees who are not in possession of material non-public information may adopt a pre-arranged plan or contract for the sale of the registrant’s securities under specified conditions and at specified times. Using these plans, individuals can gradually diversify their investment portfolios, spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce market impact and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material non-public information.

 

Mr. Nath has 33,333 shares subject to the plan that are expected to occur at predetermined times at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds that are specified in the plan. The Plan begins in October 2007 and extends through October 2008. Transactions under this plan will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.
