Item 5. Other Events
On April 30, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Stockholder Rights Plan as adopted on December 16, 1998, and subsequently modified. The amendment provides that if the rights issued to stockholders under the Rights Plan are triggered, the Company may exchange for each right one share of Company common stock (or 1/1000 of a share of Class B Company Preferred Stock). No other material changes were made to the Rights Plan. The amendment is not in response to any known takeover efforts, but is intended to protect stockholders from coercive or unfair takeover tactics.
