The correct number of securities sold was 33,120, not 33,200 as was previously reported. The correct number of securities beneficially owned was 2,402,742, not 2,402,662 as was previously reported. Furthermore, the securities are held by the Fairholme entities as described above in footnote (4), rather than as was previously reported.
