Decrease in Number of Offered Shares

 

The estimated number of offered shares of our common stock was stated in the Preliminary Prospectus to be 4,600,000, and has been decreased to 3,100,000 shares.  As a result, we now estimate that the proceeds of the offering, after expenses, based on an assumed offering price of $11.00 per share, the low end of the price range per share set forth on the cover page to the Preliminary Prospectus, will be $30.2 million.  We continue to expect to use $17.1 million of the proceeds to pay down our senior debt, and $6.3 million of the proceeds (or $3.2 million after netting out the proceeds from preferred shareholders who have agreed to use such proceeds to purchase common stock) to repurchase outstanding preferred stock and pay accrued preferred stock dividends, and we continue to expect to use the balance to fund the growth of our operating subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes.
