(the "Company") announced on November 2, 2005 that the transaction with Collateral Investment Corp. ("CIC"), previously announced on May 18, 2005 and described in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 20, 2005, has been completed. In the transaction, CIC, which holds approximately 17.4% of the outstanding common stock of Triad, transferred all of its 2,573,551 shares of Triad common stock to the Company in exchange for 2,528,514 newly issued shares of Triad common stock, representing a discount of approximately 1.75% to the Company. CIC plans to liquidate and distribute the newly issued Company shares to the CIC shareholders. As a result, the CIC shareholders will have direct ownership of the Company shares rather than an indirect interest through CIC, thereby allowing shareholders to obtain liquidity for their Company shares on a restricted basis over time. The Company's press release announcing the completion of this transaction is incorporated herein by reference and is filed as an exhibit to this Report.
