Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Each of Messrs. Douglas L. Maine and Scott A. Tozier adopted a pre-arranged stock trading plan (each, the “Plan”), which became effective on May 5, 2017. Mr. Maine plans to sell up to 10,000 shares under his Plan. Mr. Tozier plans to exercise options with respect to up to 25,000 shares and to sell the underlying stock under his Plan. Options may not be exercised nor stock sold under either Plan until the completion of our previously announced plan to repurchase up to $250 million of our outstanding stock. Each Plan expires in 2018, unless earlier terminated.

The transactions under each Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as applicable. Each Plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s internal policies regarding stock transactions. In accordance with Rule 10b5-1, neither Mr. Maine nor Mr. Tozier will have discretion over sales under their Plan.

The Company does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any of its officers or directors in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced trading plan, except to the extent required by law.

The information in this Item 7.01 is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and is not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information contained herein is not incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any filings.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
