On June 10, 2009, the Issuer publicly offered shares of its Common Stock and 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2014 (the “Notes”). Each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes is initially convertible into 92.5926 shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, as described in the Issuer’s prospectus supplement relating to the Notes dated June 4, 2009. As part of the public offering, FMILP purchased 166,667 shares of Common Stock and $1,500,000 principal amount of the Notes. The Notes held by FMILP are currently convertible at the option of FMILP into an aggregate of 138,889 shares of Common Stock.
 

 
 

 
 
On several occasions in 2011, through unsolicited broker transactions, Paul L. Foster and FMILP sold an aggregate of 1,020,000 and 2,040,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, pursuant to the 2010 Sales Plan (as defined below).

·  
any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
 
 
·  
any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
 
 
·  
any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;
