ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Funds for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock reported herein to be
held by Castlerigg Master Investments and CGS were derived from their respective
general working capital and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary
course of business. A total of approximately $106,807,167 million was paid to
acquire the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for
investment purposes in the ordinary course of business because they believed the
shares to be undervalued in the market.
On June 29, 2007, SAMC sent a letter to the Chief Executive Officer
of the Issuer expressing support for his efforts to improve the Issuer's
performance but cautioning that operational turnarounds can be fraught with risk
and are sometimes better attempted as a part of a larger organization or in a
private ownership context. Further, SAMC urged the Board of Directors to (i)
closely monitor the progress of the turnaround and hold management to clearly
defined milestones in a reasonable timeframe, (ii) immediately engage a
financial advisor to review the Issuer's strategic alternatives and (iii)
continue to aggressively repurchase shares at the current depressed valuation
level. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by reference. A copy of a related press release issued by SAMC on June
29, 2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit B and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Except as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any
plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters
referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to
Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to
time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or
formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Depending on the Issuer's
response to the June 29 Letter, among other things, the Reporting Persons may
consider proposing a slate of nominees for election as directors at the Issuer's
next annual meeting. Representatives of SAMC have engaged and may in the future
engage in discussions with members of the Board and management as well as with
other shareholders of the Issuer and other interested parties regarding the
suggestions contained in the June 29 Letter and other matters of interest to the
Issuer's shareholders.
Although none of the Reporting Persons has any specific plan or
proposal to acquire or dispose of the shares of Common Stock, each Reporting
Person at any time and from time to time may (i) acquire additional shares or
securities of the Issuer, (ii) dispose of any or all of its securities of the
Issuer or (iii) enter into privately negotiated derivative transactions with
institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of its
positions in the securities of the Issuer, depending upon an ongoing evaluation
of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other
investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons,
and/or other investment considerations.
