Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale of 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The price to the public in this offering is $12.35 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the shares from us pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $11.61 per share.
