("Promerica"), entered into a trading plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 with an unaffiliated commercial bank to execute a series of variable prepaid forward sale contracts. On May 14, 2012, Promerica settled a prepaid variable contract originally entered into on May 12, 2010 through the delivery of 18,600 shares of the Issuer's common stock. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $86,845.56 to Promerica. See also footnote 2. In accordance with the variable prepaid forward sale contract, when settled in shares the number of shares to be delivered to the bank at maturity depends on the market price per share at maturity, but may not exceed 18,600 shares. If the market price per share at maturity was equal to or less than the floor price of $6.7085 per share, Promerica would deliver 18,600 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity was greater than the floor price, Promerica would deliver a fewer number of shares. The market price per share at maturity on May 14, 2012 was $6.23. Accordingly, Promerica transferred 18,600 shares of the Issuer's common stock to the bank. On March 1, 2010, a family trust, of which the reporting person's spouse and brother are trustees and the reporting person's spouse and children are beneficiaries (the "Trust"), entered into a trading plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 with an unaffiliated commercial bank to execute a series of variable prepaid forward sale contracts. On May 14, 2012, the Trust settled a prepaid variable contract originally entered into on May 12, 2010 through the delivery of 65,825 shares of the Issuer's common stock. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $307,344.56 to the Trust. See also footnote 4. In accordance with the variable prepaid forward sale contract, when settled in shares the number of shares to be delivered to the bank at maturity depends on the market price per share at maturity, but may not exceed 65,825 shares. If the market price per share at maturity was equal to or less than the floor price of $6.7085 per share, the Trust would deliver 65,825 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity was greater than the floor price, the Trust would deliver a fewer number of shares. The market price per share at maturity on May 14, 2012 was $6.23. Accordingly, the Trust transferred 65,825 shares of the Issuer's common stock to the bank. Shares held by a trust of which the reporting person's spouse and brother are trustees and the reporting person's spouse and children are beneficiaries. /s/ Conor Kilroy, Attorney-in-Fact 2012-05-16
