Item 8.01 Other
Events.
On November 11, 2010, Access Plans, Inc. (APNC) announced that it intends to explore a broad range of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, including, but not limited to, entering into a “going private” transaction, raising or borrowing money for future acquisitions, or one or more other transactions. In this regard the Company has retained Southwest Securities, Inc. to serve as its financial advisor.
The Company’s Board of Directors may determine that none of the strategic alternatives is appropriate, and there can be no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in the Company pursuing any particular transaction, or, if it pursues any such transaction, that it will be completed. The Company does not expect to make further public comment regarding the review of these strategic alternatives until the Board of Directors has approved a specific course of action, the Board deems disclosure of significant developments to be appropriate, or the Company is legally required to do so. A press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
