Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Certain of the Registrant’s officers and directors, Dennis Higgs, Executive Chairman of the Board, Glenn Catchpole, President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director; George Hartman, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and a Director; and independent directors Richard Holmes and Peter Bell, have each adopted an automatic securities disposition plan (“ASDP”), in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b5-1 (“Rule 10b5-1”), applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation, including the guidance under Ontario Securities Commission’s Staff Notice 55-701 (the “Canadian Legislation”), and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
Rule 10b5-1 and the Canadian Legislation permit officers and directors of public companies to adopt written ASDPs (generally referred to in the United States as Rule 10B5-1 Plans), when such individuals are not in possession of material non-public information, to sell shares of Company stock (including upon exercise of stock options) in accordance with the ASDP on an automatic basis whether or not they subsequently become possessed of material non-public information. Once an ASDP is established, the officer or director is not permitted to exercise any further discretion or influence over how dispositions will occur under the ASDP.
Sales of stock under the ASDP will be publicly disclosed through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
