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

The total amount of funds used by SAVF to purchase the 470,996 Class A Common Shares acquired in the last 60 days and reported herein was $21,413,048 (not including brokerage commissions). All of such funds were derived from capital contributions to SAVF.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Shamrock Activist Value Fund acquired the 1,349,372 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 believe that the Company has governance deficiencies that, among other things, impede accountability to the detriment of stockholder value. Although the Company has recently created a lead independent director position and appointed two new independent directors, the Reporting Persons continue to believe that the value to the holders of Class A Common Shares could be enhanced if the Company (1) adopted a majority voting standard for the election of directors; (2) declassified its staggered board to permit the annual election of all Company directors; and (3) secured the conversion of the outstanding shares of multiple vote Class B Common Shares into Class A Common Shares so that all shares of common stock have the same voting rights. The Reporting Persons have had, and anticipate having further, discussions with the Company’s senior management and the directors regarding the Reporting Person’s ideas to enhance stockholder value.

Except as stated in response to this Item 4, the Reporting Persons 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 to the form Schedule 13D promulgated under the Act. 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 capital requirements of Shamrock Activist Value Fund limited partners, 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.

 

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 1,318,116 Class A Common Shares, which represents approximately 4.56% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. SAVF II is the owner of 788 Class A Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.00% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. SAVF III is the owner of 30,468 Class A Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.11% 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 1,349,372 Class A Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 4.67% 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 1,349,872 Class A Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 4.67% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares. Shamrock Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 1,349,372 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 1,349,372 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 percentages of ownership figures set forth in this response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) assumes that 28,916,366 Class A Common Shares were outstanding as of July 18, 2008, based on the information contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2008.

(c) During the last 60 days, SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III engaged in transactions with respect to the 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.
