Shelf Registration of Common Stock

On February 28, 2012, we filed a shelf registration statement under Form S-3ASR with the SEC for $150 million of our common stock. Under this shelf registration, we are able to issue up to $150 million of new common stock. On March 6, 2012, we issued 361,446 shares of our common stock and contributed the shares to our primary U.S. pension plan. Sales of these shares by the plan are covered under our shelf registration statement. The common stock was valued for purposes of the contribution at $24.90 per share, or $9 million in the aggregate, which reflected a 2.4% discount from the $25.51 per share closing share price of our common stock on March 5, 2012.
