Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:
As of the date hereof, RCG PB no longer owns any Shares of the Issuer. Accordingly, RCG PB is no longer a member of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be a Reporting Person immediately upon the filing of this Amendment No. 1. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing as a group statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
The Shares purchased by Ramius Credit Opportunities and Enterprise Master Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase cost of the 1,476,405 Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by Ramius Credit Opportunities and Enterprise Master Fund is approximately $13,022,000, excluding brokerage commissions.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
