Exhibit 99.1

In keeping with our commitment to share merger-related news as soon as possible, I want to provide you with an update regarding one of the expected regulatory reviews mentioned in prior messages. As previously communicated, this transaction is subject to review by anti-trust regulators, and the review process can be led by either the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Regulators have thirty (30) days after the parties file notice of the transaction to respond; in our case that 30 day timeframe ends on Friday, April 8.

Last Friday, our attorneys were informed that the anti-trust review had been assigned to the FTC. Unfortunately, because the FTC was not able to begin its review until late last week they will not be able to complete the process by April 8. As a result, we have voluntarily extended the initial anti-trust review by a period of 30 days to permit the FTC to complete its normal review process.. If the FTC completes its review before the expiration of the 30 day period, then they can provide clearance before the end of the full 30 days. Even if they take the full 30 days to complete the process, we anticipate receiving clearance from the FTC around the beginning of May.

We do not believe that this re-filing will change the timing of our expected merger. We still hope and expect that we will be able to complete all requirements and close the transaction by early June.

Since this is business as usual in a pending merger situation, we will not be formally communicating this information to our clients; rather, we will informally share it during our regular interactions with them over the next few days. We did, however, want to make you aware to ensure you have the most current and accurate information available and will continue to keep you informed as we move forward.
