The payment of such stock dividend was contingent upon whether the underwriters in the IPO exercised their option to purchase an additional 3,541,500 shares of Common Stock (the "Over-Allotment Option"). On January 7, 2004, the Over-Allotment Option expired, and as of that date the underwriters had purchased 511,900 shares pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option. The remaining 3,029,600 shares were issued ratably to the Issuer's holders as of the Record Date. Following the reported transaction, Blackstone FCH Capital Partners IV L.P. owns 8,089,020 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned in the above table. (This amount of shares reported as beneficially owned by Blackstone FCH Capital Partners IV L.P. reflects an adjustment of four shares fewer than were previously reported on Form 3. The adjustment is to correct a previous rounding error.) Blackstone Family Investment Partnership IV-A L.P.
