Item 8.01 Other Events
 
At our 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for May 26, 2005, our shareholders will be asked to approve certain amendments to our Incentive and Stock Compensation Plan of 2002. The amendments are intended to clarify (i) how shares subject to the terminated awards affect the limitations on the number of shares that could be granted under the plan and (ii) that grants of performance shares may have an initial value up to two times the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant. We will not issue more than 450,000 shares in the form of restricted stock or performance shares under the plan.
