In connection with the filing of the Option Plan Prospectus Supplement, the Company is filing an opinion of its counsel, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, regarding the legality of the securities being registered pursuant to the Option Plan Prospectus Supplement, which opinion is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
