On March 1, 2010, the reporting person 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 June 21, 2012, the reporting person settled a prepaid variable contract originally entered into on June 21, 2010 through the delivery of 237,240 shares of the Issuer's common stock. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $1,036,886.20 to the reporting person. 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 237,240 shares. If the market price per share at maturity was equal to or less than the floor price of $6.2171 per share, the reporting person would deliver 237,240 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity was greater than the floor price, the reporting person would deliver a fewer number of shares. The market price per share at maturity on June 21, 2012 was $5.62. Accordingly, the reporting person transferred 237,240 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.
