Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 13, 2009, the Company announced that due to a potential issue relating to the record date for the special meeting of stockholders of the Company previously called to consider the reorganization of the Company into Highland Credit Strategies Fund (NYSE: HCF), it expects to set a new record date and meeting date and to re-solicit Company stockholders. The Company also stated that stockholders who had submitted proxies had voted overwhelmingly (over 95%) in favor of the reorganization, although there can be no assurances that stockholders will vote in favor of the reorganization at the upcoming meeting. The Company expects to mail supplemented proxy materials later this month. The Company also updated its guidance on the timing of the reorganization, which, subject to stockholder approval and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, is currently expected to occur in June 2009.
