The business combination tender offer documents (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other offer documents) will contain important information that should be read carefully and considered before any decision is made with respect to such tender offer. These materials will be sent free of charge to all security holders of the Company when available. In addition, all of these materials (and all other materials filed by the Company with the SEC) will be available at no charge from the SEC through its website at www.sec.gov. Security holders of the Company are urged to read the business combination tender offer documents and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any investment decision with respect to the business combination tender offer because they will contain important information about the business combination tender offer, the acquisition described herein and the parties to the acquisition.
