EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements, as set forth below, the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer on May 13, 2013 (together with all subsequent amendments thereto, the “Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the information contained herein. Except as specifically amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 2, Items in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report a change in ownership in the Common Shares of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended as follows:

(a-b) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares to which this Amendment No. 2 relates is 812,900 Common Shares, constituting approximately 4.2% of the Common Shares outstanding, based upon 19,146,952 Common Shares outstanding as of July 26, 2013, as reported by the Issuer on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Shares held by the Funds, as set forth in Items 7 through 11 on their respective cover pages of this Amendment No. 2.

Each of Scout Capital Partners II, L.P., Scout Capital Long Term, L.P., Scout Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and Scout Capital Long Term Master, Ltd. directly owns, and with Scout Capital Management as their investment manager, has shared power to vote or dispose of, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the following amounts of Common Shares, respectively: 209,171; 45,240; 536,555; and 21,934. Scout Capital, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), as the general partner of Scout Capital Partners II, L.P. and Scout Capital Long Term, L.P., may be deemed to beneficially own, and have shared power to vote or dispose of, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the 254,411 Common Shares directly owned by such Funds. The General Partner and Scout Capital Management are owned and controlled by Mr. Crichton and Mr. Weiss.

The executive officers of Scout Capital Management do not individually own any Common Shares.

(c) A list of the transactions in the Issuer’s Common Shares that were effected by Scout Capital Management on behalf of the Funds since July 31, 2013 is attached as Exhibit 6 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. All of the transactions listed on Exhibit 6 were effected in the open market, including through the facilities of alternative trading systems.

(d) Other than the Reporting Persons, the General Partner and the Funds identified above, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such Common Shares.

(e) As of August 5, 2013, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Shares.
