Item 3.  
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The Reporting Persons expended an aggregate of approximately $39,427,882 of investment capital to purchase the 2,828,399 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Such shares were acquired directly from the underwriters in the Company’s initial public offering, were acquired in the ordinary course of business, and are held in margin accounts, maintained at various broker-dealers, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
 
Item 4.  
Purpose of Transaction
 
Prior to the date hereof, the Reporting Persons had on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Schedule 13G with respect to their beneficial ownership of the Common Stock.
 
The Reporting Persons purchased the Common Stock for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business.  The Reporting Persons intend continually to monitor their investment in the Common Stock by evaluating the Company’s operations, prospects, business development, management, risk profile and capital structure, as well as the Company’s competitive position and strategic direction.   The Reporting Persons have in the past and may in the future engage in discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Company to discuss the Reporting Persons’ views concerning the business, operations, and future plans of the Company, as well as its capital structure (including stock buy-backs), leverage, assets, risk management and the exercise by the Company of its contractual rights (including under contracts with CIT Healthcare LLC).  In connection therewith, the Reporting Persons may enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Company.  The Reporting Persons may also discuss such matters with other shareholders, investors, industry analysts and investment and financing professionals.   As a result of the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to hold the Common Stock with a purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D with respect to their investment in the Company.
 
Depending on various factors, including the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board of Directors, discussions with the Company’s management and/or board of directors, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters referred to in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D and may, from time to time, dispose of, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, some or all of their Common Stock, engage in short-selling or hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or continue to hold the Common Stock. Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intention with respect to the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

(b)     None of the Reporting Persons has sole power to vote or direct the vote or sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock.
