Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

As reported in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on July 27, 2011, Elmer L. Doty did not attend at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board held after he became a director.  Mr. Doty was elected to the Board effective upon the closing of the acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. (“Vought”) on June 16, 2010, and missed the first two special meetings held thereafter (called primarily to monitor the early progress of the integration of the Vought acquisition) due to long-standing personal commitments, including a trip outside the United States.  He was unable to participate by conference telephone in one of the two meetings he missed.  If Mr. Doty had been able to participate in one of these two meetings by conference telephone, he would have attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board.
