This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D initially filed on October 12, 2006 (collectively, with all amendments thereto, the “Schedule 13D”).

 

Preliminary Note: As previously reported, the Funds and the Managed Accounts had demanded appraisal rights with respect to all of the Preferred Shares reported herein, as well as the 1,330,000 Common Shares owned in aggregate by such entities. Pursuant to Delaware law, the Reporting Persons had the ability to unilaterally withdraw such appraisal demand until 60 days after the effectiveness of the Merger (as defined in the prior Schedule 13D). The Reporting Persons have not withdrawn such demand with respect to their Preferred Shares during this time period. Pursuant to Delaware law, because the Reporting Persons have demanded appraisal rights with respect to their Preferred Shares, the Persons are no longer entitled to vote the Preferred Shares reported herein or receive dividends or distributions payable with respect to such shares, subject to certain exceptions. The Reporting Persons have withdrawn their appraisal demand with respect to all of the Common Shares owned by them.

 

The Reporting Persons expressly reserve all rights available to them with respect to the Appraisal Proceedings.
