On June 14, 2012, our board of directors established September 20, 2012 as the date of our 2012 annual meeting of stockholders. Our board of directors also established July 23, 2012 as the record date for stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting.
Because the annual meeting will be held more than 30 calendar days from the date of our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, we have established a new deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for inclusion in our proxy materials for the annual meeting. In order to be considered timely, such proposals must be received at our principal executive offices at 6155 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California 92009, Attention: General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, no later than the close of business on June 25, 2012, and must also comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.
Additionally, in accordance with the advance notice provisions set forth in our bylaws, in order for other business to be brought before the annual meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, it must be received at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on June 25, 2012, and must also comply with the provisions set forth in our bylaws and applicable law.
