Other Events

On May 17, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that, following its previously disclosed evaluation of strategic corporate options, it had received preliminary and conditional indications of interest from parties proposing to acquire the Company. On July 2, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors has concluded, after consulting with its financial advisor, that none of the indications of interest received to date represented or was likely to lead to a transaction that was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company will continue to review other strategic corporate options with a view towards maximizing value for the Company’s shareholders.
