Section 8 Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As of May 10, 2019, the Company has been informed that Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the Company, has adopted a pre-arranged, non-discretionary stock trading plan to sell a portion of his currently owned Company stock systematically over time as part of an individual long-term strategy for asset diversification and estate planning. The stock trading plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company's policies regarding stock transactions by insiders.

Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate officers and directors to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. Using these plans, insiders can gradually diversify their investment portfolios, by spreading stock trades out over a period of time to reduce any market impact, while avoiding concerns about the initiation of stock transactions when in possession of material non-public information.

Subject to the terms of the plan, up to 150,000 shares may be sold for the benefit of Mr. Gallagher during the six-month period from May 24, 2019 to November 25, 2019. The plan contemplates sales periodically with the number of shares to be sold in each sale impacted by the prevailing market price at the time of sale. The transactions under this plan are to be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
