In calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular securityholder’s notes. We did not assume, however, the conversion of any other securityholder’s notes.

     Investing in the notes and our common stock involves risks, which are described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of the prospectus.
