Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On February 20, 2008, the Registrant issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. As noted in the press release, the Registrant has provided certain non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, the reasons it provides such measures and a reconciliation of the non-U.S. GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP measures. Readers should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A copy of the Registrant’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the previously disclosed employment agreement entered into on January 28, 2008, by the Registrant and its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, Neil Cole, on February 19, 2008, Mr. Cole was granted 1,181,684 time-vested restricted common stock units (the “RSUs”) and 571,150 performance-based restricted common stock units (the “PSUs”) under the Registrant’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”). Under the employment agreement Mr. Cole will be granted an additional 216,639 PSUs if the Registrant’s stockholders approve an increase in the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock under either the Plan or another incentive plan that would cover the grants. As previously disclosed, the RSUs will vest in five substantially equal annual installments commencing on December 31, 2008, subject to Mr. Cole’s continuous employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date, and the PSUs will be subject to vesting based on the Company’s achievement of certain designated performance goals. Both the RSUs and PSUs are subject to forfeiture upon the termination of Mr. Cole’s employment under certain circumstances. The Registrant has also determined that pursuant to the terms of his prior employment, Mr. Cole is entitled to incentive bonuses totaling $649,000 with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
