Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on October 3, 2011 (the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. All references in the Schedule 13D and this Amendment to the “Statement” shall be deemed to refer to the Schedule 13D as amended and supplemented by this Amendment.

Items 3, 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

All of the shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates were purchased by the Funds using their investment capital. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,684,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by the Funds was approximately $31,700,000 (including brokerage commissions and transaction costs).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.
