John C. Shea, who had served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since 2012, has been appointed Chief Administrative Officer and will transition to that role effective September 1, 2021. In his position as Chief Administrative Officer, Mr. Shea will continue to support the Company’s growth initiatives, operational imperative and capital allocation strategy. Andrew Brophy, a Certified Public Accountant, who has served as the Company’s SEC Reporting Manager from January 2018 to November 2020, Director of Accounting since November 2020, and Acting Principal Accounting Officer since February 2021, will continue as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer.

Item 8.01Other Events.

Today the Company issued a press release announcing a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), resolving a previously reported investigation into the Company’s earnings per share calculations from 2014 to 2017. The Company consented to the entry of an order by the SEC, which states, among other things, that during certain quarters between 2014 and 2015, the Company failed to timely record the financial impact of certain loss contingencies and maintain accurate books, records and sufficient internal account controls. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company neither admitted nor denied the SEC's charges and agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $6.0 million. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
