The Company understands that the Special Committee is reviewing the proposal from the CORE Funds, has not made any decisions with respect to its response to the proposal and has not set a definitive timetable for the completion of its evaluation of the proposal. There can be no assurance that any definitive agreement will result from the proposal submitted by the CORE Funds or that any transaction will be consummated. The Company and the Special Committee do not intend to comment further about this proposal unless and until they deem that further disclosure is appropriate.
