Item 7.01	Regulation FD Disclosure.	
On May 27, 2014, the Company held its 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. A copy of the presentation slides for the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders is furnished herewith as  Exhibit 99.1  to this Report.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be treated as filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly refers to specific information in this Report. The furnishing of the information in this Item 7.01 is not intended to, and does not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the information in this Item 7.01 is material information that is not otherwise publicly available.
In the foregoing presentation, the Company utilized financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide stockholders with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that enables stockholders to more thoroughly evaluate its current performance as compared to past performance. The Company also believes these non-GAAP measures provide stockholders with a more informed baseline for modeling its future financial performance. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purposes. The Company believes that its stockholders should have access to the same set of tools that it uses in analyzing its results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. See Item 2.02 of to the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on May 13, 2014, for definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures, together with an explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to stockholders, and tables that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures utilized to GAAP financial measures.
Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical and factual information contained in the accompanying slides attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report, the matters set forth therein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including, but are not limited to, such factors as may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the presentation slides. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
