Item 8.01. Other Events.

On the morning of October 19, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend. The initial press release incorrectly reported that the dividend would be payable to shareholders of record on November 9, 2009; it should have read that the dividend would be payable to shareholders of record on November 9, 2010. The following paragraph reflects the corrected press release, which is also attached.

On October 19, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.33 per share, an increase of $0.01 per share or 3% over the 2009 dividend. The dividend will be payable December 1, 2010, to shareholders of record on November 9, 2010.

A copy of this press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
