As a result of these purchases, as of 4:00 pm, New York City time on April 27, 2006, the Filing Persons now have both voting and dispositive control with respect to 5.7% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 115,576,695 Shares stated by the Issuer to be outstanding as of March 6, 2006 in the Issuer’s Schedule 14A filed March 13, 2006).

As described in Item 5(c) below, certain of the Filing Persons have also entered into private transactions pursuant to which the named Filing Persons bought from or sold to each other a number of Shares at a price equal to the closing price of the Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the transaction. These transactions were entered into solely for the purpose of rebalancing positions among the named Filing Persons.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) As of 4:00 pm, New York City time, on April 27, 2006, the Filing Persons beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 6,617,500 Shares, representing approximately 5.7% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (based upon the 115,576,695 Shares stated by the Issuer to be outstanding as of March 6, 2006 in the Issuer’s Schedule 14A filed March 13, 2006).
