Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2013 (the Original
10-K), is being filed to revise the Summary Compensation Table in Part III, Item 11 of the Original 10-K to correct errors that occurred in the EDGAR conversion of our word document that resulted in incorrect compensation data due to the elimination of several numbers from the Summary Compensation table in the Original 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 also corrects a scrivener error that occurred in footnote 6 of Item 12, whereby the correct open number of common stock shares purchased by Finn-Partners, Inc. is 349,319 shares and not 600,000 as stated in the Original 10-K.
In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Summary Compensation Table in Part III, Item 11 of the Original 10-K has been amended and restated in its entirety reflect the correct executive compensation data; footnote 6 to the table included in Part III, Item 12 of the Original 10-K has been amended as discussed above; and Part IV, Item 15 of the Original 10-K has been amended and restated in its entirety, solely to include as exhibits the certifications under Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a) required to be filed with this Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 1 does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the Original 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K and with our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original 10-K.
