Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on December 13, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle all claims made at that time by the plaintiffs and claimants who alleged personal injury claims against the Company. See Note 7 of the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 for information regarding these personal injury claims.

As reported in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed January 12, 2011, the Company extended the time period during which plaintiffs’ counsel could enroll participants to achieve the required threshold levels of participation in the settlement program to January 31, 2011 (the “Settlement Expiration Date”).

Plaintiffs’ counsel has indicated to the Company that, as of the Settlement Expiration Date, they have met the required levels of participation, meaning that the Settlement Agreement is in effect. The Company is in the process of confirming that information. Initial data provided by plaintiffs’ counsel indicates that approximately 5% of the eligible plaintiffs and claimants have not confirmed their participation in the settlement program. The Company is uncertain regarding their intentions.
