Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 27, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting except as described above.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Our policy governing transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, and employees permits our
officers, directors, funds affiliated with our directors, and certain other persons to enter into trading plans complying
with Rule 10b5-l under the Exchange Act. We have been advised that certain of our officers and directors (including
Colin Angle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Helen Greiner, Director) of the Company have entered into
a trading plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”) covering periods after the date of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K in accordance with Rule 10b5-l and our policy governing transactions in our securities. Generally, under
these trading plans, the individual relinquishes control over the transactions once the trading plan is put into place.
Accordingly, sales under these plans may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or
immediately after significant events involving our company.
We anticipate that, as permitted by Rule 10b5-l and our policy governing transactions in our securities, some or
all of our officers, directors and employees may establish trading plans in the future. We intend to disclose the
names of our executive officers and directors who establish a trading plan in compliance with Rule 10b5-l and the
requirements of our policy governing transactions in our securities in our future Quarterly and Annual Reports on
Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the SEC. We, however, undertake no obligation to update or revise the information
provided herein, including for revision or termination of an established trading plan, other than in such quarterly and
annual reports.
