Capital
Stock
The
following summary description of our securities is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws.
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 160,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common
stock and no preferred stock. As of October 31, 2006 there were 34,207,912
shares of common stock issued and outstanding that are held of record by
approximately 275 shareholders.
Each
holder of record of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote for
each
share held on all matters properly submitted to the shareholders for their
vote.
Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not authorized by the
Certificate of Incorporation.
Holders
of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to those dividends
declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds, and, in
the
event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders
are
entitled to receive ratably our net assets available to the shareholders.
Holders of our outstanding common stock have no preemptive, conversion or
redemption rights. All of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock
are, and all unissued shares of our common stock, when offered and sold will
be,
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. To the extent
that additional shares of our common stock may be issued in the future, the
relative interests of the then existing shareholders may be diluted.
Dividends
We
have
never declared or paid any dividends or distributions on our common stock.
We
anticipate that for the foreseeable future all earnings will be retained for
use
in our business and no cash dividends will be paid to stockholders. Any payment
of cash dividends in the future on our common stock will be dependent upon
our
financial condition, results of operations, current and anticipated cash
requirements, plans for expansion, as well as other factors that the Board
of
Directors deems relevant.
