Item 8.01
Other Events.
As
disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported a $75.3 million impairment of goodwill and intangibles charge, a $13.2 million impairment of fixed assets charge, and a net
loss of $78.1 million, in each case for the year ended December 31, 2012. As also previously disclosed, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company's Board of Directors determined that an internal investigation of whether such
impairment charge was overstated should be undertaken by the Audit Committee with the assistance of independent outside professionals. During the same time period, the Company's Board of Directors also determined that the Audit Committee, with
the assistance of independent outside professionals, should conduct an internal investigation of the Company's financial forecasting practices during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.
On August 23, 2013, the Company announced that the Audit Committee completed its investigation. With the assistance of independent
outside professionals, the Audit Committee found that no restatement of the Company's previously issued financial statements nor any action relating to the Company's previous financial forecasts is required. Further, the Company intends to
file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable and well in advance of the previously disclosed October 14, 2013 due date by which the Company is
required to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards. The Company expects to be in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards after the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On August 23, 2013, the Company also announced that it intends to hold its previously postponed second quarter earnings
conference call at 9:00 a.m. EDT on September 5, 2013.
On August 23, 2013, the Company issued a press release
announcing the completion of the investigation and the date of its rescheduled earnings conference call, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
