ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
In accordance with general instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the following
information is furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On June 15, 2005, the Registrant announced a pending realignment of its
executive management structure. The changes are scheduled to take effect on July
1 to coincide with the previously announced retirement of Carl E. Jones, Jr. as
chief executive officer of the company and the succession of Jackson W. Moore to
that position.
The organizational restructuring reflects that succession, and
otherwise, will not result in any personnel changes. The revised structure will
designate new titles for some of Registrant's executives, and redefine some of
the lines of reporting. Mr. Jones will continue in the capacity of chairman of
the board, and Mr. Moore will retain the title of president in addition to the
chief executive officer title.
Further information is set forth in Registrant's press release of June
15, 2005, that describes the revised executive organizational structure. A copy
of the press release is included as exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form
8-K.
