(e) On May 24, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) gave final approval to a settlement with the Company and Mr. Blodgett, thereby resolving an investigation being conducted by the SEC into certain disclosures made by the Company in press releases dated April 19, 2004 and April 21, 2004. Contemporaneous with the approval of the settlement, the SEC filed a complaint and consent to judgment against the Company and Mr. Blodgett in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint contained allegations regarding the accuracy of certain disclosures in the Company’s press releases dated April 19, 2004 and April 21, 2004 and regarding certain stock sale transactions by Mr. Blodgett. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, both the Company and Mr. Blodgett consented to the entry of an order requiring that they cease and desist from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In addition, the settlement with the SEC required certain monetary payments on behalf of Mr. Blodgett and that the Company maintain comprehensive written policies concerning public communications and trading in securities by Company insiders.
