(Nasdaq:PHELK) announced today the issuance and sale of an additional
637,500 shares of its non-voting common stock to cover over-allotments
relating to its recent offering of 4,250,000 shares of non-voting
common stock on June 14, 2005. The additional shares were sold at the
public offering price of $25.00 per share pursuant to the exercise, in
