Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On May 6, 2009, the Company’s non-executive Chairman, Robert W. Decherd, adopted a personal trading plan under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1. The plan is scheduled to remain in effect until November 30, 2009, at which time Mr. Decherd will evaluate whether to renew the plan for 2010. Under the terms of the plan, Mr. Decherd may sell up to 100,000 shares of BLC Series A common stock after the end of each fiscal quarter during the term. The maximum number of shares that may be sold under the plan represents less than four percent of the shares of BLC common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Decherd, and does not materially change his voting power under BLC’s differential voting stock structure. The trading plan establishes a series of quarterly limit orders, with the first sale occurring May 7, 2009.
