Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On March 8, 2005, a former employee filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging, among a variety of alternative theories of liability, that he was terminated for reporting certain alleged financial and contracting improprieties within our travel department, and claiming unspecified damages. The former employee has advanced these claims in various administrative forums over the past year and we believe that we understand them well. We believe that the allegations of this former employee are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously, and we anticipate that this lawsuit will have no material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is “filed” but not “furnished” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.
