Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As disclosed under Item 5.07 above, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in a ratio as determined by our Board of Directors and not to exceed 1-for-8. Subsequent to the Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to effect a 1-for-4 reverse stock split. The Company expects that the reverse stock split will take effect prior to the opening of the NASDAQ Capital Market on April 14, 2011 and will be effective with respect to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 13, 2011 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the reverse stock split, each four shares of common stock will be combined into one share of common stock and the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury will be reduced proportionately based on the reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-4. Stockholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split will be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the fraction to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of a share of common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market immediately following the Effective Time.
