Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Company delivered a letter (the “Letter”) to Thrivent Asset Management, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “Thrivent”) approving its request to be permitted under the Company’s Rights Agreement dated as of February 12, 2008 to increase its beneficial ownership to in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Such approval is conditioned upon, and subject to Thrivent: (i) not increasing its beneficial ownership to in excess of 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock; (ii) remaining continuously eligible to report its beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock on Schedule 13G; and (iii) increasing its beneficial ownership to in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, if at all, on or before the twelve month anniversary of the date of the Letter.

 

Furthermore, in the event that Thrivent reduces its beneficial ownership to below 4.9%, the approval granted pursuant to the Letter shall immediately terminate and Thrivent would need to obtain a new approval from the Company’s Board of Directors before seeking to again increase its beneficial ownership to in excess of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
