ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The total amount of funds used by SAVF to purchase the 1,412,952 Class A Common Shares reported herein was $60,906,826 (excluding brokerage commissions). All of such funds were derived from capital contributions to SAVF.

The total amount of funds used by SAVF II to purchase the 272,599 Class A Common Shares reported herein was $11,750,652 (excluding brokerage commissions). All of such funds were derived from capital contributions to SAVF II.

The total amount of funds used by SAVF III to purchase the 849 Class A Common Shares reported herein was $36,615 (excluding brokerage commissions). All of such funds were derived from capital contributions to SAVF III.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Shamrock Activist Value Fund acquired the 1,686,400 Class A Common Shares owned by it based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Class A Common Shares represent an attractive investment opportunity.

The Reporting Persons may determine from time to time in the future, based on market and general economic conditions, the business affairs and financial conditions of the Company, the availability of securities at favorable prices and alternative investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem relevant, to acquire additional securities of the Company in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or to sell some or all of the securities it now holds or hereafter acquires as set forth above or otherwise.

The Reporting Persons have had, and anticipate having further, discussions with the Company’s senior management regarding the Reporting Persons’ ideas to enhance shareholder value. These ideas have focused on improvements in the Company’s operations, corporate governance, executive compensation arrangements and utilization of its capital resources.

The Reporting Persons believe that the governance deficiencies at the Company, among other things, impede accountability to the detriment of shareholder value. Based on this belief, the Reporting Persons have requested that the Company declassify its staggered Board, separate the Chairman and CEO roles, seek to convert the outstanding shares of the multiple vote Class B common stock into Class A Common Shares so that all shares of common stock have the same voting rights, and expand the Board of Directors to add new members, including individuals with relevant operating experience.


The Reporting Persons have also proposed that the Company improve the disclosure of its compensation plan to provide increased transparency with respect to performance benchmarks that would allow shareholders to better assess whether the Company’s current compensation plan appropriately aligns pay with performance. We believe properly designed performance based incentive compensation significantly contributes to the creation of long-term shareholder value.

The Reporting Persons have also urged the Company to use its strong balance sheet to fund a prompt and significant repurchase of the Company’s common stock. The Reporting Persons believe the recently announced $75 million Company share repurchase is a positive step by the Company to proactively utilize its capital resources. In light of current market prices for the Company’s Class A Common Shares, we believe the Company should actively purchase its Class A Common Shares pursuant to this newly adopted repurchase program.

Except as stated in response to this Item 4, the Reporting Persons shall have no current plans or proposals with respect to the Company or its securities of the types enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4 of the form Schedule 13D promulgated under this Act.

 

ITEM 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III are controlled by the General Partner. As a result, each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III may be deemed members of a group and may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the shares beneficially owned for such purposes by the others.

SAVF is the owner of 1,412,952 Class A Common Shares, which represents approximately 4.58% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. SAVF II is the owner of 272,599 Class A Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.88% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. SAVF III is the owner of 849 Class A Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.002% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares.

As the general partner of Shamrock Activist Value Fund, the General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,686,400 Class A Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 5.46% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. As the managing member of the General Partner, Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,686,400 Class A Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 5.46% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. Shamrock Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 1,686,400 Class A Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund by virtue of its authority to vote and dispose of such Class A Common Shares. Finally, each of the controlling persons of Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,686,400 Class A Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act. Those controlling persons are identified in response to Item 2.


The percentage of ownership figures set forth in this response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) assumes that 30,872,081 Class A Common Shares were outstanding as of December 6, 2007, based on the information contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2007.

(c) During the last 60 days, SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III acquired Class A Common Shares on such dates, in such amounts and at such per share prices (excluding brokerage fees) as indicated on the Schedule of Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference. All such transactions were effected in the open market on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person identified in response to Item 2, beneficially owns any Class A Common Shares or has effected any transactions in Class A Common Shares during the preceding 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

 

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons have no knowledge of any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in response to Item 2 or between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company.
