Item 5. Other Information
Executive Ownership and Sales
From time to time, some of the Company’s directors and executives may determine that it is advisable to diversify their investments for personal financial planning reasons, or may seek liquidity for other reasons, and may sell common shares of the Company in the open market, in private transactions or to the Company. To effect such sales, some of the Company’s directors and executives have previously entered into, and may in the future enter into, trading plans designed to comply with the Company’s Insider Trading and Outside Investments Policy and the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The trading plans will not reduce any of the executives’ ownership of the Company’s shares below the applicable executive stock ownership guidelines. The Company does not undertake any obligation to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any employee or director of the Company in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan.
Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies
The Company has adopted a Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) trading arrangement as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

No changes to the applicable trading period under the initial agreement were made in the amendment.
