Item 4.

Ownership.

 

(a)

Amount beneficially owned:

On November 5, 2012, Hercules Holding II, LLC (“Hercules”) made a distribution of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Issuer to certain of its members in exchange for no more than the pro rata portion of the outstanding membership interests of Hercules held by such members, including a distribution of 148,143 shares to Merrill Lynch Ventures L.P. 2001 (“ML Ventures LP”), the general partner of which is Merrill Lynch Ventures, LLC (“ML Ventures LLC”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc. (“ML Group”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America,” and collectively with ML Ventures LP, ML Ventures LLC, ML Group and Merrill Lynch, the “Reporting Persons”).

Following such distribution, ML Ventures LP owned less than 1% of the outstanding membership interests of Hercules, and, pursuant to ML Ventures LP’s right under Hercules’ Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated November 17, 2006 (as amended, the “LLC Agreement”), ML Ventures LP elected to withdraw as a member of Hercules and as party to the LLC Agreement (the “Withdrawal”). In connection with the Withdrawal, on November 20, 2012, Hercules distributed 2,652,364 shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis to ML Ventures LP in exchange for ML Ventures LP’s remaining outstanding membership interests of Hercules.

As a result of the Withdrawal, the Reporting Persons may no longer be deemed to be members of a group exercising voting and investment control over the shares of Common Stock held by Hercules, and, therefore, ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock distributed to ML Ventures LP on November 5, 2012 and November 20, 2012 were subsequently sold by ML Ventures LP in a series of open market transactions. Item 9 of each of the cover pages with respect to each Reporting Person provides the amount of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person following the transactions described above.

---

Each of the Reporting Persons declares that neither the filing of this report nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person was, for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or any other purpose, (i) acting (or had agreed to act) with any other person as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, or disposing of securities of the Issuer or otherwise with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer or (ii) a member of any syndicate or group with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer.

 

(b)

See Item 11 of each of the cover pages with respect to each Reporting Person.
