Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The acquisitions described in Item 3 were made for investment purposes.  The sales of Common Stock listed in Item 5 were involuntary sales effected without notice by the Reporting Persons’ prime broker, Fidelity Capital Markets Services, a division of National Financial Services LLC (“Fidelity”), acting unilaterally and without direction from or authority provided by the Reporting Persons.  Prior to the sales, Fidelity affirmatively represented that margin maintenance requirements would not increase until April 4, 2008.  The Reporting Persons were within all agreed upon and known margin maintenance requirements at the time the sales were made and met all such requirements established by Fidelity prior to April 4, 2008.  In each instance, the Reporting Persons immediately demanded that these unauthorized trades be reversed, and subsequently commenced legal action against Fidelity (which is now pending) and terminated their prime brokerage relationship with Fidelity.  The Reporting Persons do not presently have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

 

Item 5.

(a)                                  The Reporting Persons collectively own 2,277,956 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock comprising 17.8% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock.
