Item 8.01 Other Items.
On October 29, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted an interim executive compensation
recoupment/clawback policy (the “Policy”) that reflects the preliminary requirements of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), with the
intention that the Policy will be modified when final regulations required by the Dodd-Frank Act
are adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2011.
The Policy is effective as of January 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) for any current executive
officer or former executive officer that terminates employment after the Effective Date and shall
apply to cash and equity-based incentive compensation that is approved, granted or awarded on or
after the Effective Date.
A copy of the Policy is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
