Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

The registrant announced today that its board of directors has authorized the registrant to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which the registrant will register up to $1.2 billion in shares of its common stock for sale in a continuous, follow-on public offering commencing after the registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The registrant intends to use the proceeds from the follow-on offering to make additional investments and for general corporate purposes. The registrant intends to file the registration statement for the follow-on offering prior to November 3, 2010, which will enable the registrant to continue to sell shares of common stock in the registrant’s ongoing initial public offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, until the earlier of (1) the date on which the registration statement for the follow-on offering is declared effective by the Commission and (2) May 2, 2011.

This Report does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale. Any offering of securities by the registrant will be dependent upon market conditions, and there can be no assurance that the anticipated follow-on offering will commence within the time frames currently anticipated by the registrant or at all.
