Item 8.01 Other Events.
Effective April 2, 2012, the Company and each of Jordan L. Kaplan, Kenneth M. Panzer, William Kamer and Theodore E. Guth elected to eliminate the automatic one year extension in their employment agreements that would have become effective at the end of the current term (December 31, 2014) if neither party provided a non-renewal notice by November 1, 2014. This decision was in response to current trends in employment agreement best practices, and was not based on any expectation that the agreements will not be renewed.
