Based, however, upon their consideration of, among other things, (i) the matters considered by and the conclusions of the Special Committee and the Board discussed above, (ii) the fact the Board has received the BGC Opinion to the effect that, as of the date of the BGC Opinion and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the BGC Opinion, the $18.25 per Share cash consideration to be received in the Offer and the Merger by holders of Shares (other than the Management Investors) was fair, from a financial point of view, and (iii) the fact that the Special Committee has received the FBR Opinion to the effect that, as of the date of the FBR Opinion and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the FBR Opinion, the $18.25 per Share cash consideration to be received in the Offer and the Merger by holders of Shares (other than the Management Investors) was fair from a financial point of view, each of Acquisition Company, Holdings, Parent, Chartwell and Ford believes that the Offer and the Merger are fair to holders of Shares -3- (other than the Management Investors). Each of Acquisition Company, Holdings, Parent, Chartwell and Ford also believes the Offer and the Merger are procedurally fair to the holders of Shares (other than the Management Investors) for the reasons referred to above as having been taken into account by the Board." The Offer to Purchase is amended by revising the penultimate paragraph on page 13 under the section titled "Recommendation of the Baord of Directors; Fairness of the Offer and the Merger - The Board of Directors" (which paragraph was added by Amendment No. 2) to read as follows: "Mr. Wolfington believes that the Offer and the Merger are procedurally fair to the holders of Shares (other than the Management Investors) for the reasons referred to above as having been taken into account by the Board." -4- SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
