The terms of the preferred stock permited Westar to convert such shares into the Issuer's common stock only in order to sell it; thus, Westar Energy became a 10% holder in the Issuer's stock only at the point of conversion of the preferred stock into common stock, which was thereafter immediately sold.</remarks><ownerSignature><signatureName>Larry D.
