Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On July 15, 2014, we notified the NASDAQ Stock Market that an independent member of our Board of Directors, William L. Moody IV, died on July 14, 2014. As a result of his death, we currently do not comply with the requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) that our Board of Directors be comprised of a majority of independent directors. We expect to regain compliance with such rule prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period provided under Listing Rule 5605.

On July 16, 2014, we received a notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market confirming our noncompliance with Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and confirming that we will be provided a cure period until the earlier of our next annual stockholders’ meeting or July 14, 2015 in order to regain compliance.
