     On July 30, 2007, the Company announced the resignation of Michael W. Brice as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Brice has served the Company is these capacities since January 2005, and his resignation follows the Company’s substantial completion of its comprehensive IT system conversion project, which Mr. Brice had been hired to lead. As part of the Company’s new cost reduction program that was also announced, the chief information officer position formerly held by Mr. Brice will be eliminated, and the Company’s ongoing IT functions and strategies will be executed by other existing personnel.
     
ITEM 8.01
  OTHER EVENTS.
     On July 30, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing the formation of a special committee of independent directors of the Company’s Board of Directors to review strategic alternatives potentially available to the Company to unlock shareholder value and to provide recommendations to the full Board of Directors of the Company. The special committee will be chaired by Richard M. Seigel, the non-executive Chairman of the Board, and is authorized to engage financial and other advisors as appropriate in order to conduct its review and develop recommendations for the Board’s consideration. While the special committee will commence work immediately in connection with the review, a timetable for the completion of

 


 

the review has not been established. A copy of the press release containing that announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
     In connection with the strategic alternatives review process, it is important to note that the conduct of the review does not ensure the availability of any strategic alternatives to enhance value, that any specific recommendation will be approved by the Board, or that, if a recommendation of the special committee is approved by the Board and pursued by the Company, the specific course undertaken will be successful to enhance value or that any value enhancement can be realized by investors at any particular point in time. Moreover, the conduct of such a process itself could affect the Company and its near-term operations in any number of ways that cannot be predicted or assessed in advance.
