Other Events.

On August 13, 2009, the Company issued a press release (the “Pricing Press Release”) announcing that it entered into an agreement to sell 28,000,000 shares of its common stock at $9.00 per share pursuant to a registration statement previously filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company announced that it had granted the underwriters of such common stock offering (“Underwriters”) an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 4,200,000 shares of common stock, on the same terms and conditions.

On August 14, 2009, the Company issued a press release (the “Over-Allotment Press Release”) announcing that the Underwriters exercised in full their over-allotment option on August 13, 2009. The exercise of the over-allotment option results in the issuance of an additional 4,200,000 shares of common stock. With the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company will issue, in the aggregate, 32,200,000 shares of common stock. The closing for both the common stock offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option are scheduled for August 18, 2009.
