Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 5, 2011, the Administrative Court in Gothenburg, Sweden rejected the Registrant’s appeal and upheld the Swedish Tax Agency’s imposition of a value added tax (“VAT”) assessment of approximately SEK 112 million ($17.3 million) and SEK 22 million ($3.4 million) in penalties for the period from 2004 through June 2008. If the value added tax for these periods ultimately will be held payable, it is likely that the Swedish Tax Agency also will request such tax for periods subsequent to June 2008.

On September 4, 2008, a Swedish court granted an application made by the Swedish Tax Agency to seize SEK 100 million ($15.4 million) of assets owned by one of the Registrant’s subsidiaries, Inter Direct Tel Ltd., as security for payment of VAT. Inter Direct Tel appealed the seizure order and on October 6, 2008, the appellate court, the Administrative Court of Appeal in Gothenburg, reversed the lower court’s seizure order. On December 17, 2008, the Swedish Tax Agency sent Inter Direct Tel an Audit Memo describing its reasoning for a VAT assessment of approximately SEK 112 million ($17.3 million) and SEK 22 million ($3.4 million) in penalties. On March 27, 2009, Inter Direct Tel responded to the comments in the Audit Memo. On June 5, 2009, Inter Direct Tel received a re-assessment from the Swedish Tax Agency in the same amounts assessed in the Audit Memo with the payment due on July 13, 2009. Inter Direct Tel received a suspension of the payment obligation until the matter is addressed by the appropriate court. On 15 June, 2009, Inter Direct Tel filed an appeal of the re-assessment, which was completed on September 30, 2009. On October 27, 2009, the Swedish Tax Agency issued a mandatory reconsidered decision on the re-assessment which did not change its previous assessment. On December 9, 2009, Inter Direct Tel submitted its response to the Swedish Tax Agency’s decision to the County Administrative Court in Vänersborg. The case was subsequently transferred to the Administrative Court in Gothenburg and the judgment was rendered by the Administrative Court in Gothenburg on August 5, 2011.

The Registrant intends to appeal the judgment of the Administrative Court in Gothenburg to the Administrative Court of Appeal in Gothenburg and apply for a suspension of the payment obligation pending a decision of the appeal.
