Section 2 – Financial Information

 

Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On January 26, 2010, the Registrant announced its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  A copy of the Registrant’s earnings news release is furnished on Form 8-K.  The information contained in Item 2.02 of this report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

The Registrant is furnishing the earnings news release for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as Exhibit 99.1 on Form 8-K, which has been revised to delete an extra comma which could lead to misinterpretation.  The “Outlook” section of the original earnings news release included the following statement: “[d]ue to strong pension fund performance, the company now expects pension expense to be about $.10 per share, lower than originally anticipated.”  The foregoing statement should have read: “[d]ue to strong pension fund performance, the company now expects pension expense to be about $.10 per share lower than originally anticipated.”  Exhibit 99.1 reflects this change.
