ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURE.
Stephen L. Cavallaro, Executive Vice President of the Company, has entered
into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to sell up to 100,000 shares of the Company's
common stock upon the exercise of certain options. Portions of the shares may be
sold any time the stock achieves certain prearranged minimum prices and may take
place beginning on July 16, 2004 and ending on December 10, 2004 unless sooner
terminated. Mr. Cavallaro will have no control over the timing of any sales
under the plan and there can be no assurance that the shares covered by the plan
actually will be sold. Mr. Cavallaro entered into the plan in order to diversify
his financial holdings, although he will continue to have a significant
ownership interest in the Company.
This trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company's insider trading policy. Rule
10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish prearranged written plans to buy
or sell a specified number of shares of a company stock over a set period of
time. A plan must be entered into in good faith at a time when the insider is
not in possession of material, nonpublic information. Subsequent receipt by the
insider of material, nonpublic information will not prevent transactions under
the plans from being executed.
