Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously announced, on October 23, 2014, we issued $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “8.50% Notes”). Certain beneficial holders of the 8.50% Notes had the right to require us to repurchase for cash up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.50% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, during the 120-day period commencing on October 23, 2014, and $7.5 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 8.50% Notes were placed into escrow for that purpose.

 

On February 20, 2015, the 120-day period expired, the escrow account terminated and the full $7.5 million was released to us.
