Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosures.

The Company has received a proposal by its former CEO to nominate four directors for election to the Company's Board of Directors at the Company's 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 

On November 20, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), acting upon the recommendation of the Board's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, unanimously determined that the purported notice of nominations from Mr. Vestergaard (the "Notice Letter") does not comply with Section 5 of the Bylaws, and that, accordingly, Mr. Vestergaard has not submitted to the Company a proper advance notice of nominations in compliance with the Bylaws.

A copy of the Response Letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
