Item 3.
SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
 
The Reporting Persons used approximately $119,695,000 (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to purchase the Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D.
 
The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Stock reported herein is the working capital of the Funds and the Accounts and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such shares of Common Stock are held by the Reporting Persons in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein.

Item 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
   
 
The Reporting Persons originally acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment in the ordinary course of its business. The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares pursuant to investment strategies, including merger arbitrage and event driven strategies, because they believed that the Shares reported herein, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.
 
On July 20, 2012, an Agreement and Plan of Merger, was agreed to by and among the Issuer, GenOn US, a Delaware corporation ("GenOn"), and NRG Energy Inc. ("NRG"), a Delaware corporation, subject to stockholder approvals and certain other customary closing conditions. Both GenOn and NRG have scheduled their respective special meeting of shareholders for November 9, 2012 to vote on the proposed Plan of Merger.If approved, NRG and GenOn will combine their businesses through the merger of GenOn with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of NRG, with GenOn thereupon becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG.  
 
Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons have not entered into any agreement with any third party to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Shares reported herein.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis; however, the Reporting Persons do not have the current intent to influence the basic business decisions of the Issuer, nor to participate in the management of the Issuer.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of the discussions and actions referenced above, actions taken by the board of directors, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, determining whether to vote in favor of the merger, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the shares of Common Stock, voting for or against and expressing support for or against any proposals of the board of directors of the Issuer or other shareholders of the Issuer and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
