Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Between August 13, 2007 and August 15, 2007, the Partnership sold in the ordinary course of its business 361,417 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Partnership. All of such sales were made by brokers in arms length open market transactions.
On August 21, 2007, the Partnership and the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which the Partnership agreed to sell to the Issuer (i) 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate price of $7,500,000 ($5.00 per share), and (ii) the Warrant (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,990. The purchase and sale of the Common Stock and the Warrant pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement closed on August 23, 2007. Warrant refers to the warrant held by the Partnership to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The Partnership is holding the remaining shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by it in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes and not with the purpose of changing or influencing control of the Issuer. The Partnership may sell or otherwise dispose of from time to time, in open market transactions, private transactions, transactions with affiliates of the Issuer or otherwise, all or any part of the Common Stock owned by it in any manner permitted by law. The Reporting Persons retain the right, depending on market conditions and/or other factors, to change their investment intent or to acquire from time to time additional shares of Common Stock.
