ITEM 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
On February 9, 2009, the Registrant issued a press release announcing its preliminary earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2008. This press release was attached to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished by the Registrant on February 9, 2009.
On March 12, 2009, the Registrant issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, announcing that, subsequent to the issuance on February 9, 2009 of its preliminary earnings for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008, it became aware that the performance of the collateralized debt obligations held in its securities portfolio may have deteriorated beyond what was originally anticipated. As a result, the Company may need to recognize impairment charges related to this portion of its investment portfolio. The Company is currently evaluating the information available and has decided to file an extension of the deadline to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, in order to analyze the timing and extent to which any such impairment charges should be recognized. To the extent the Company determines that an impairment charge must be reflected in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the previously announced full year and fourth quarter 2008 earnings information will be revised accordingly.
