1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Zix Corporation (“ZixCorp,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of providing information with respect to the interim periods covered thereby. Management of the Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such periods have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

2. Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Testing for Goodwill Impairment

     In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. Under the new guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying value amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. Otherwise, further testing would not be needed. The new guidance does not change how goodwill is calculated, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment or between tests if events or circumstances warrant. The amended guidance is effective for us for fiscal year 2012, with earlier adoption permitted. We do not anticipate that this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income

     In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance removes the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of equity. This guidance is effective for us for fiscal year 2012, and must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. The new guidance does not apply to entities that have no items of OCI in any period presented. We do not anticipate that this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

     In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that became effective January 1, 2011. Under the new guidance tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance; such software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when Vendor Specific Objective Evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. This new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Discontinued Operations

     On December 31, 2010, we discontinued our e-Prescribing business. For information relating to discontinued operations, see the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

4. Stock Options and Stock-based Employee Compensation

     As of September 30, 2011, there were 7,174,647 options outstanding and 993,456 available for grant. Of the options available for grant, 771,932 options were available for grant to employees and 221,524 were available for grant to the Company’s directors. For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the total stock-based employee compensation expense was recorded to the following line items of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

		Three Months				Nine Months
		Ended September 30,				Ended September 30,
		2011				2011
Cost of revenues		$	21,000			$	45,000
Research and development			20,000				47,000
Selling, general and administrative			127,000				277,000
Stock-based compensation expense		$	168,000			$	369,000

     There were 84,783 and 720,374 stock options exercised for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively. There were 333,542 and 642,638 stock options exercised for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The excess tax benefit recorded in the three month period ended September 30, 2011, related to the 84,783 options exercises was $11,000. The excess tax benefit recorded in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, related to the 720,374 option exercises was $113,000. A deferred tax asset totaling $120,000 and $477,000, resulting from stock-based compensation expense relating to the Company’s U.S. operations, was recorded for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, there was $1,493,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to non-vested stock-based compensation awards granted under the stock option plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.31 years.

Stock Option Activity

The following is a summary of all stock option transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2011:

										Weighted Average
						Weighted				Remaining				Aggregate
						Average				Contractual Term				Intrinsic
		Shares				Exercise Price				(Yrs)				Value
Outstanding at June 30, 2011			6,827,165			$	4.52
Granted at market price			491,500			$	3.85
Cancelled or expired			(59,235	)		$	6.31
Exercised			(84,783	)		$	1.91
Outstanding at September 30, 2011			7,174,647			$	4.48				4.69			$	1,761,000
Options exercisable at September 30, 2011			6,318,822			$	4.67				4.09			$	1,507,000

     Of the above-described stock options outstanding at September 30, 2011, 1,858,511 of such stock options outstanding had an exercise price lower than the market price of the Company’s common stock.

     For additional information regarding the Company’s Stock Options and Stock-based Employee Compensation, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

5. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

     Supplemental cash flow information relating to interest, taxes and non-cash activities:

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2011				2010
Cash paid for interest		$	7,000			$	17,000
Cash income tax payments		$	172,000			$	217,000
Non-cash investing and financing activities:
Assets sold to customers as part of their subscription service		$	—			$	14,000
Payables related to purchases of fixed assets		$	96,000			$	56,000

6. Receivables, net

		September 30,				December 31,
		2011				2010
Receivables		$	912,000			$	1,376,000
Allowance for returns and doubtful accounts			(21,000	)			(32,000	)
Note receivable			458,000				476,000
Allowance for note receivable			(458,000	)			(476,000	)
Receivables, net		$	891,000			$	1,344,000

     The allowance for doubtful accounts includes all specific accounts receivable which we believe are likely not collectible based on known information. In addition, we record 2.5% of all accounts receivable greater than 90 days past due, net of those accounts specifically reserved, as a general allowance against accounts that could potentially become uncollectible.

     The note receivable represents the remaining outstanding balance of an original note related to the sale of a product line in 2005 in the amount of $540,000. The note receivable is fully reserved at September 30, 2011.

7. Earnings Per Share and Potential Dilution

     Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of common shares potentially outstanding is included in diluted earnings per share. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, are as follows:

		Three Months ended September 30,								Nine Months ended September 30,
		2011				2010				2011				2010
Basic weighted average shares			64,140,926				64,148,452				65,499,763				63,973,102
Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee and director stock options			878,992				850,978				1,055,906				770,395
Warrants			907,876				1,637,030				1,171,735				1,426,943
Potential dilutive common shares			65,927,794				66,636,460				67,727,404				66,170,440

     During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, weighted average shares of 4,831,146 and 4,341,573 respectively, related to stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise prices exceeded the market price of ZixCorp’s common stock on that date, and the options were therefore anti-dilutive. During each of those periods, 145,853 of shares related to anti-dilutive warrants were excluded from that calculation. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, weighted average shares of 6,982,729 and 7,263,978 respectively, related to anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. During those same periods, 145,853 and 2,797,441, respectively, of shares related to anti-dilutive warrants were excluded from that calculation.

8. Commitments and contingencies

     A summary of our fixed contractual obligations and commitments at September 30, 2011, is as follows:

		Payments Due by Period
		Total				1 Year				Years 2 & 3				Beyond 3 Years
Operating leases		$	3,688,000			$	1,327,000			$	2,072,000			$	289,000

     We have not entered into any material, non-cancelable purchase commitments at September 30, 2011.

Claims and Proceedings

     We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe the outcome of these legal proceedings either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot predict with certainty any eventual loss or range of possible loss related to such matters.

9. Fair Value Measurements

     FASB guidance regarding fair value measurement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

     For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, commercial paper, trade receivables, and accounts payable, the fair values approximate carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of other current assets and accrued expenses are also not recorded at fair value, but approximate fair values primarily due to their short-term nature.

10. Commercial Paper

     The investment in commercial paper is classified as a held-to-maturity debt security as the Company had the positive intent and ability to hold this investment until maturity. This short term investment was purchased on February 18, 2011, and matured on October 25, 2011. The carrying value of this security approximated fair market value due to the short-term maturity of the investment. At maturity, the Company received approximately $10,000 of interest for the commercial paper, and the cash investment was moved to a money market fund.

11. Common Stock Repurchase Program

     On March 7, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorized the Company to purchase up to $15,000,000 of its shares of common stock from time to time in the open market. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 4,285,600 shares at an aggregate cost of $14,900,000. We completed the share repurchase program during the first week of July 2011 when the remaining 22,800 repurchased shares valued at approximately $100,000 were transferred to the Company.

12. Income Taxes

     At the end of 2010, the Company recorded a $35,300,000 tax benefit by reducing the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. This reduction was determined through an assessment of future deferred tax asset utilization following accounting guidance which relies largely on historical earnings. Using the same methodology, and updating the future taxable earnings estimates based on first nine months 2011 actual earnings, the Company believes its future taxable earnings estimate to be established at the end of 2011 will exceed the estimate used at the end of 2010. For this reason, the Company offset its first, second, and third quarter 2011 deferred tax provision by reducing its valuation allowance by an equal amount; thereby eliminating any deferred tax provision from the Company’s first, second, and third quarter 2011 financial statements. The Company will reevaluate the need for its valuation allowance at December 31, 2011, following the same assessment methodology that was performed at December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most subjective judgments.

     We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We discuss our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter 2011 Summary of Operations

Operations

•

New first year orders (“NFYOs”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, were $1,641,000. As of September 30, 2011, backlog was $52,576,000.

Revenues

     Email Encryption is a subscription-based service. The following table sets forth a period-over-period comparison of the Company’s revenues:

										3-month Variance																9-month Variance
		Three Months Ended September 30,								2011 vs. 2010								Nine Months Ended September 30,								2011 vs. 2010
		2011				2010				$				%				2011				2010				$				%
Revenues		$	9,558,000			$	8,548,000			$	1,010,000				12	%		$	28,260,000			$	24,221,000			$	4,039,000				17	%

     The increase in revenue was due to the growth inherent in a successful subscription model with steady additions to the subscriber base coupled with a high rate of existing customer renewals.

Revenue Indicators — Backlog and Orders

     Backlog — Our backlog is comprised of contractually bound agreements that we expect to amortize into revenue as the services are performed. The timing of revenue is affected by both the length of time required to deploy a service and the length of the service contract.

     As of September 30, 2011, total backlog was $52,576,000 and we expect approximately 58% of the total backlog to be recognized as revenue during the next twelve months. The backlog as of September 30, 2011, was comprised of the following elements: $18,091,000 of deferred revenue that has been billed and paid, $4,899,000 billed but unpaid, and approximately $29,586,000 of unbilled contracts.

     Orders — Total orders were $9,687,000 and $9,686,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total orders include contract renewals, NFYOs, and in the case of new multi-year contracts, the years beyond the first year of service. NFYOs were $1,641,000 and $2,201,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

     The following table sets forth a period-over-period comparison of the cost of revenues:

		Three Months Ended								3-month Variance								Nine Months Ended								9-month Variance
		September 30,								2011 vs. 2010								September 30,								2011 vs. 2010
		2011				2010				$				%				2011				2010				$				%
Cost of Revenues		$	1,789,000			$	1,662,000			$	127,000				8	%		$	5,362,000			$	4,734,000			$	628,000				13	%

     Cost of revenues is comprised of costs related to operating and maintaining the ZixData Center, a field deployment team, customer service and support and the amortization of Company-owned, customer-based computer appliances. A significant portion of the total cost of revenues relates to the ZixData Center, which currently has excess capacity. The primary contributor to the year over year increase in Cost of revenues was an increase in the allocation of fixed costs relating to the data center and various fixed occupancy charges including facilities and telecommunications and various shared costs. A portion of these fixed and shared costs had previously been absorbed by the Company’s e-Prescribing business that was discontinued at the end of 2010. The Company’s remaining product line, Email Encryption, began absorbing higher allocated costs during 2010 as we were winding down the Company’s e-Prescribing business.

     The increase in cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same quarter last year, resulted primarily from these higher allocated costs and slightly higher salary and benefit costs resulting from wage increases and higher average headcount. The increase in cost of revenues in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter last year resulted primarily from slightly higher salary and benefit costs (wage increases and higher average headcount).

Research and Development Expenses

     The following table sets forth a period-over-period comparison of our research and development expenses:

										3-month Variance																9-month Variance
		Three Months Ended September 30,								2011 vs. 2010								Nine Months Ended September 30,								2011 vs. 2010
		2011				2010				$				%				2011				2010				$				%
Research and Development		$	1,343,000			$	1,261,000			$	82,000				7	%		$	3,948,000			$	3,817,000			$	131,000				3	%

     Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our development staff, and other costs associated with enhancing our existing products and services and developing new products and services. For the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2011, research and development expenses increased slightly due to increases in wages and benefit costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     The following table sets forth a period-over-period comparison of our selling, general and administrative expenses:

										3-month Variance																9-month Variance
		Three Months Ended September 30,								2011 vs. 2010								Nine Months Ended September 30,								2011 vs. 2010
		2011				2010				$				%				2011				2010				$				%
Selling, general and administrative		$	3,754,000			$	4,026,000			$	(272,000	)			(7	%)		$	11,310,000			$	12,242,000			$	(932,000	)			(8	%)

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary, stock-based compensation and benefit costs for marketing, sales, executive and administrative personnel as well as costs associated with advertising, promotions, professional services and general corporate activities. The $272,000 decrease in expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year primarily resulted from decreases in bonus and commissions, stock based compensation, and salaries and severance expenses totaling approximately $675,000, which was partially offset by increases in professional fees, recruitment, advertising and investor relations totaling approximately $325,000. The remaining increase of $78,000 was incurred over a range of other selling, general and administrative activities.

     The $932,000 decrease in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period last year primarily resulted from decreases in bonus and commissions, stock based compensation, and salaries and severance expenses totaling approximately $2,200,000, which was partially offset by increases in professional fees, recruitment, advertising and investor relations totaling approximately $950,000. The remaining increase of $318,000 was spread over a range of other selling, general and administrative activities.

Interest Expense

     We incurred no interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $7,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Interest expense was $5,000 and $17,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Interest expense consisted of imputed interest related to a license subscription promissory note payable.

Investment and Other Income

     Investment and other income was $8,000 and $76,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Investment and other income was $27,000 and $83,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Other income consists of interest and other income items earned in the normal course of business.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes was $119,000 and $3,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $132,000 and $141,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The operating losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. operations in past years and the resulting net operating losses for U.S. Federal tax purposes are subject to a $72,725,000 reserve because of the uncertainty of future taxable income levels sufficient to utilize the net operating losses. Our 2011 provision of $132,000 consists of a benefit from refundable tax credits on our U.S. operations totaling $4,000, and taxes related to our Canadian operations totaling $54,000; and $80,000 in state income taxes. The 2010 provision consisted of $7,000 in taxes on our U.S. operations, $101,000 in taxes on our Canadian operations, and $33,000 in state income taxes.

     There were no penalty-related charges to selling, general and administrative expenses accrued or recognized for the same comparative periods. Additionally, we have not taken a tax position that would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. We are currently subject to a three-year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions.

     The Company previously recorded a $327,000 tax contingency liability related to tax year 2004 for its Canada operation, and that amount and the specifics therein have remained unchanged except for currency translation adjustments. As of September 30, 2011, the gross amount of our unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of the $327,000 tax liability and $50,000 in other uncertain positions in 2008, was approximately $460,000. Included in this balance are tax positions which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate.

     At September 30, 2011, the Company partially reserved its U.S. net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future taxable income sufficient to utilize net loss carryforwards prior to their expiration. The Company did not reserve a portion, $35,348,000, of its

U.S. net deferred tax assets related to $48,000 in state tax credit carryforwards because such credits will be used to offset a revenue-based state franchise tax and are therefore not contingent on the Company’s reporting taxable income in a future period, and $35,300,000 in U.S. net operating losses (“NOLs”) because we believe the Company will generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize these NOLs prior to their expiration.

     At the end of 2010, the Company recorded a $35,300,000 tax benefit by reducing the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. This reduction was determined through an assessment of future deferred tax asset utilization following accounting guidance which relies largely on historical earnings. Using the same methodology, and updating the future taxable earnings estimates based on first, second and third quarter 2011 actual earnings, the Company believes its future taxable earnings estimate to be established at the end of 2011 will exceed the estimate used at the end of 2010. For this reason, the Company offset its first, second and third quarter 2011 deferred tax provision by reducing its valuation allowance by an equal amount, thereby eliminating any deferred tax provision from the Company’s first, second and third quarter 2011 financial statements. The Company will reevaluate the need for its valuation allowance at December 31, 2011, following the same assessment methodology that was performed at December 31, 2010. Adjusting our valuation allowance could have a significant impact on operating results in the period that it becomes more likely than not that an additional portion of our deferred tax assets will or will not be realized.

     We have determined that utilization of existing net operating losses against future taxable income is not subject to limitation by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Future ownership changes, however, may limit the Company’s ability to fully utilize its existing net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income.

     As indicated earlier, the operating losses incurred by our U.S. operations and the resulting net operating losses for U.S. Federal tax purposes are subject to a partial reserve. Significant judgment is required in determining any reserve recorded against the deferred tax asset. In assessing the need for a reserve, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies.

     Net Income

     The net income for the quarter ending September 30, 2011, of $2,571,000 reflects the achievement of profitability for the seventh consecutive quarter, and is an improvement of $803,000 compared to the net income of $1,768,000 for the same period last year. The improvement in net income resulted from higher gross profit, due to increased revenue, combined with relatively flat R&D and lower SG&A expenses, as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

     Based on our performance over the last four quarters and current expectations, we believe our cash, cash equivalents, commercial paper and cash generated from operations, will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, investment requirements, contractual obligations, commitments, future customer financings, and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations through at least the next twelve months. We plan for and measure our liquidity and capital resources through an annual budgeting process. At September 30, 2011, our cash, cash equivalents, and commercial paper totaled $22.0 million and we have no debt.

     Revenue is expected to grow at approximately 15% for the full year 2011 compared to 2010. For the three month period ended September 30, 2011, we achieved our seventh consecutive quarter of profitability.

     Cash, cash equivalents and commercial paper at September 30, 2011, were $22,028,000, a decrease of $2,591,000 from the December 31, 2010, balance. This decrease was primarily driven by the repurchase of $15,000,000 of our common stock under a repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in March 2011. We completed the share repurchase program during the first week of July 2011 when the remaining repurchased shares valued at approximately $100,000 were transferred to the Company. The decrease in cash was partially offset by cash generated from the exercise of stock options and warrants and cash collections from customers.

     We believe a significant portion of all other spending is discretionary and flexible and that we have the ability to adjust overall cash spending to react, as needed, to any shortfalls in projected cash.

Sources and Uses of Cash Summary

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2011				2010
Net cash provided by operations		$	10,661,000			$	6,471,000
Net cash used in investing activities		$	(3,393,000	)		$	(1,125,000	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		$	(12,149,000	)		$	938,000

     Our primary source of liquidity from our operations is the collection of revenue in advance from our customers and accounts receivable from our customers, net of the timing of payments to our vendors and service providers.

     Related to our investing activities in the first nine months of 2011, we utilized $2,290,000 to purchase commercial paper and $1,103,000 to purchase equipment, primarily computer and networking equipment. In first nine months of 2010, equipment purchases were $1,150,000. These 2010 purchases were slightly offset by the $25,000 cash inflow from proceeds from the sales of maturing marketable securities.

     Cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2011 included the $15,000,000 repurchase of common stock mentioned above and $186,000 to fund repayment of a promissory note associated with computer operating system licenses. These usages were partially offset by $3,037,000 received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. In the first nine months of 2010, the exercise of stock options resulted in $1,032,000 in cash, which was partially offset by $94,000 used to fund the above mentioned promissory note.

Options and Warrants of ZixCorp Common Stock

     We have significant options outstanding that are currently vested. There is no assurance that any of these options will be exercised; therefore, the extent of future cash from additional option exercises is not certain. The following table summarizes the options that were outstanding as of September 30, 2011. The vested shares are a subset of the outstanding shares. The value of the shares is the number of shares multiplied by the exercise price for each share.

ITEM 4. (Removed and Reserved)

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

     On September 13, 2011, our Board of Directors amended our Bylaws to, among other things, adopt specific advance-notice requirements for shareholder-sponsored director nominations and submission of other business as well as to expand the disclosure that shareholders must make when submitting a director nomination and other business. Sections 1.11 and 1.12 of the Bylaws govern these advance-notice requirements. If the date of the annual meeting is not more than 30 days before and is not later than 60 days after the first anniversary date of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then the Bylaws provide for an advance-notice period for shareholder submissions of nominations and other business of not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day and not later than the close of business on the 90^th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders. The 2011 annual meeting was held on June 8, 2011. Therefore, as long as the 2012 annual meeting is held no earlier than May 9, 2012, and no later than August 7, 2012, shareholder director nomination must be received on or after the close of business on February 11, 2012, and by the close of business on March 10, 2012, instead of no later than close of business on March 15, 2012, which was the deadline previously disclosed in the 2011 proxy statement.

     The amendments to the Bylaws also require a shareholder who submits a nomination or other proposal to disclose, among other things, any derivative interests in, and voting arrangements with respect to, our securities in addition to the shareholder’s outright record and beneficial ownership. In addition, a shareholder who submits a nomination is required to provide, among other things, the information required to be disclosed in a proxy statement and a description of all compensation between the shareholder and the nominee. Finally, proposed nominees must meet, among other things, all requirements prescribed, from time to time, by any applicable federal or state law, any relevant securities exchange and Board and Nominating Corporate Governance Committee.
