Davison, the Chief Financial Officer, provided advanced notice on December 1, 2020, to the Company of his intent to retire from his position during calendar year 2021. The Company had indicated in the Original Form 8-K that the terms of
Mr. Davison’s retirement arrangement, including the effective date of the transition, would be disclosed in an amendment to the
Original Form 8-K once the effective date of Mr. Davison’s retirement had been determined and an agreement been reached.
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K, and is being filed solely for the purpose of providing the disclosure related to Mr. Davison's retirement arrangement as stated in Item 5.02 of the Original Form 8-K.
