Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement among us and the underwriter, we and the selling shareholders have agreed to sell to the underwriter named below, and such underwriter has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us and the selling shareholders, the number of common shares set forth opposite its name below.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. | | | 30,000,000 |

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if any of the shares are purchased.
We and the selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
The underwriter is offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by it, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and subject to other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriter of officers’ certificates and legal opinions. The underwriter reserves the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
We have granted to the underwriter an option, exercisable 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares from us at the price per share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement to be paid by the underwriter.
Discounts and Commissions
The underwriter is purchasing the common shares from us and the selling shareholders at $4.75 per share (representing $95,000,000 of proceeds to us, before offering expenses, and approximately $47,500,000 of proceeds to the selling shareholders, before expenses). The underwriter may offer the common shares from time to time to purchasers directly or through agents, or through brokers in brokerage transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market, or to dealers in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods of sale, or otherwise, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The difference between the price at which the underwriter purchases common shares from us and the price at which the underwriter resells such common shares may be deemed underwriting compensation. If the underwriter effects such transactions by selling common shares to or through dealers, such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriter and/or purchasers of common shares for whom they may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principal.
We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately $500,000.
