Item 3.01	Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.	

As of December 31, 2010, the registrant’s board of directors authorized the transfer of the listing of the trading of shares of its class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) to the NYSE Amex LLC (the “ NYSE Amex ”) because the NYSE Amex is more compatible with the trading liquidity and market capitalization of the registrant’s class A common stock.  Accordingly, the registrant intends to submit an application for the listing of the trading of its class A common stock to the NYSE Amex.  While the registrant can give no assurance that the NYSE Amex will approve the listing, upon such approval the registrant will delist the class A common stock from trading on the NYSE concurrently with the listing of the trading on the NYSE Amex.
