Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed by the Company, two of the Company’s significant stockholders, Karim Maskatiya and Robert Cucinotta, filed applications for certain gaming regulatory approvals from the Mississippi Gaming Commission (the “Mississippi Commission”) in connection with their ownership interests in MCA Processing, LLC. Neither of these applications was filed in connection with their ownership of the Company’s stock. After initially denying a finding of suitability of Messrs. Maskatiya and Cucinotta, at its March 26, 2009 meeting the Mississippi Commission reversed its position and granted Messrs. Maskatiya and Cucinotta permission to withdraw their applications under the condition that they not apply for any gaming regulatory approvals from the Mississippi Commission for a four year period. As a result of the decision by the Mississippi Commission to permit Messrs. Maskatiya and Cucinotta to withdraw their applications, the Company believes it is no longer currently subject to the risk of encountering gaming regulatory issues with the Mississippi Commission as a result of the prior denial of findings of suitability for these two stockholders.
