The Issuer's Shares have been acquired on behalf of SIA's and SFI's clients. In pursuing such investment purposes, the Sit Entities purchased the Shares based on the Sit Entities' belief that the Shares represented an attractive investment opportunity, and the Sit Entities may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, sell or otherwise deal in the Shares at the time, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among many things, changes in market prices of such Shares, the market prices of such Shares relative to the value of the Issuer's assets, changes in the Issuer's investment strategy, and composition of the Issuer's portfolio. None of Sit Entities have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein.

Certain clients of SIA and SFI purchased or sold Shares of the Issuer since the last 13D filing, resulting in a greater than 1% change in ownership of the Issuer by the Sit Entities. As of the date hereof, the Sit Entities may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,980,965 Shares held in client accounts which represent 47.02% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares. Each of the Sit Entities may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of such Shares. However, none of SIA's or SFI's directors or executive officers own Shares directly. c) Transactions in Shares by the Sit Entities in the last 60 days are set forth in Exhibit A. d) The clients of SIA and SFI have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sales of, the Shares held for their respective accounts. e) Not applicable ITEM 6 Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer Not applicable.
