Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The common stock of QRI was acquired and is being held by the Reporting Persons as an investment. On October 15, 2010, QELP, Glenn Darden, Thomas F. Darden and Anne Darden Self (collectively the “Darden Family Interests”) sent a letter to the board of directors of QRI. In the letter, the Darden Family Interests formally notified the directors of their interest in exploring strategic alternatives for QRI, which could include, among other things, a possible take private transaction of QRI by the Darden Family Interests. The Darden Family Interests stated, in the letter, that while they were not in a position to provide the directors with their valuation of QRI at this time, and that there could be no assurance that a take private proposal by them would be forthcoming, they were fully aware and wo uld expect that any such proposal made by them would involve a substantial premium to the current market price. In the letter, the Darden Family Interests also requested that the directors amend QRI’s rights plan, so that the Darden Family Interests and another major stockholder, who had indicated a similar interest to the directors, SPO Partners & Co., could discuss strategic alternatives for QRI. In addition, the Darden Family Interests asked for permission to share, subject to a customary nondisclosure agreement, certain nonpublic information of QRI with any financial advisors that they retained.
