Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements

A significant portion of the compensation of our directors and officers is in the form of equity awards, and, from time to time, directors and officers engage in open-market transactions with respect to the securities they acquire pursuant to such equity awards or other securities we have issued, including for diversification or other personal reasons.

No other Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements or “non-Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangements” (as defined by S-K Item 408(c)) were entered into or terminated by our directors or officers during such period:

As of the date of this report on Form 10-K, the execution of the Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement described above will not cause such person to fall out of compliance with the stock ownership guidelines applicable to him.
