Item
8.01 Other Events.
On October 24, 2008 the Company accepted offers to repurchase its auction rate securities (ARSs), at par value, from the two investment banks that sold and continue to hold its ARSs. The Company believes it and its ARSs are eligible to participate in the offers and expects to sell them at par value in exchange for cash between November 2008 and January 2009. The total par value of the Company’s ARSs is approximately $12.2 million.
The two
investment banks who have made the repurchase offers, UBS and Morgan Stanley,
have each represented they have the financial resources to perform their
obligations under the offers. However, there can be no assurance that either one
or both investment banks can maintain the financial resources to satisfy their
obligations under the repurchase offers.
SIGNATURES
