It has also been our longstanding practice to file the Company’s Form 10-K after review and approval by the Board at its February meeting. The Company’s earnings release for the fourth quarter of the prior year is in late January. During the period covered by this report, we have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. |
