its letter, Fursa also advised the Company that it intended to tender its shares of Common Stock
into the Offer.
ITEM 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Item 8 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Tuesday, August 21, 2007
and Purchaser accepted for payment all of the shares of Common Stock initially tendered and not
