On February 17, 2012 our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend on our common stock, which we paid on March 15, 2012. 

It came to our attention on May 1, 2012 that a financial media site had indicated that we declared a second dividend payable on May 1, 2012.  We believe that information has subsequently been corrected and we are issuing this press release to clarify that our Board of Directors has declared only one dividend in 2012, our regular quarterly dividend described in the paragraph above.  See Exhibit 99.1 for the Company’s press release issued on May 3, 2012 regarding this matter.
