The Offer is subject to the condition, among others, that at the expiration of the Offer there shall have been validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn at least a majority of the outstanding Shares not held by the Stapleton Group, without regard to Shares held by directors or officers of SAC or the Company. The Offer is also subject to certain other terms and conditions, including the absence of a material adverse change in the Company’s business. The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. See the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled The Tender Offer—Conditions to the Offer.
