Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 6, 2011, Robert L. Roe, M.D., our President, adopted a pre-arranged stock trading plan to exercise and sell a portion of the common stock that he holds in our company and a portion of the shares issuable to him upon exercise of option awards over time as part of his individual long-term strategy for asset diversification, tax and financial planning. The stock trading plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and our company’s policies regarding stock transactions.

Under his Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, over a one-year period beginning on January 5, 2012 subject to minimum price thresholds and other sale date requirements as specified in his plan, Dr. Roe plans to sell up to 32,007 shares of our company’s common stock that he currently holds and up to 662,504 shares issuable upon exercise of option awards. Based on holdings as of December 6, 2011, if Dr. Roe completes all the planned sales under his stock trading plans, he would retain holdings of 812,496 shares of our common stock, including vested and unvested options to acquire common stock.

The transactions under this plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
