Item 5.04.
Temporary
Suspension of Trading Under Registrants Employee Benefit Plans.
OfficeMax
Incorporated (the Company) has decided to transition to new investment
choices under the OfficeMax Savings Plan and the OfficeMax Savings Plan for
Puerto Rico (collectively, the Plans).
This change in investment options will require a blackout period during
which eligible employees will be unable to enroll in the Plans and participants
in the Plans will be temporarily unable to change their contribution rates,
direct or diversify investments in their individual accounts (including accounts
that hold common stock of the Company), or obtain a loan or distribution from
the Plans. The blackout period will also
apply to the OfficeMax Incorporated Executive Savings Deferral Plan to the
extent the same or similar rights normally are available under that plan.
On
February 29, 2008, the Company received the notice of the blackout period
from the plan administrator of the Plans required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. On February 29, 2008, the Company sent a
Notice of Blackout Period Memorandum (the Memorandum) to its directors and
executive officers informing them that a blackout period is expected to be in
effect beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern time on March 17, 2008, and ending
during the week of April 13, 2008.
However, the blackout period may be extended due to events beyond the
Companys control that may arise as part of the transition, in which case
notice will be given to the directors and executive officers as soon as
reasonably practicable.
The
Memorandum was provided to the Companys directors and executive officers
pursuant to the requirements of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation
BTR.
During
the blackout period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the
blackout period, holders of the Companys common stock and other interested
parties may obtain, without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates of
the blackout period by sending a written request to Carolyn Naranjo, Senior
Director of Benefits and HR Services, 800 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Itasca,
Illinois, 60143, or by calling (630) 438-7193.
A
copy of the Memorandum is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current Report
on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
