Items 2 and 5 are hereby amended and restated.

 

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

This Statement is being filed by and on behalf of Breeden Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Delaware Fund”); Breeden Partners (California) L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “California Fund”); Breeden Partners (California) II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “California II Fund”); Breeden Partners Holdco Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (“Holdco”), Breeden Partners (Cayman) Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (“BPC”) (together with Holdco, the “Offshore Investors Fund”); Breeden Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”); Breeden Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”); and Richard C. Breeden, a citizen of the United States of America (“Mr. Breeden”). The Delaware Fund, the California Fund, the California II Fund and the Offshore Investors Fund are herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Fund.” The Fund, the General Partner, the Advisor and Mr. Breeden are herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Reporting Persons.”

The address of the principal office of each of the Delaware Fund, the California Fund, the California II Fund, the General Partner, the Advisor and Mr. Breeden is 100 Northfield Street, Greenwich, CT 06830. The address of the registered office of Holdco and of BPC is c/o Walkers SPV Limited, Walker House, 87 Mary Street, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-9002, Cayman Islands. Mr. Breeden is the Managing Member of the General Partner and the Advisor.

The Fund is principally involved in the business of investing in securities. The General Partner is principally involved in the business of serving as the general partner of the Delaware Fund, the California Fund and the California II Fund. The Advisor is principally involved in the business of providing investment advisory and investment management services to the Fund and, among other things, exercises all voting and other powers and privileges attributable to any securities held for the account of the Fund.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their officers and directors, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a)-(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) on the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. As of the close of business on July 18, 2008, the Delaware Fund owned 87,877 shares of Common Stock both beneficially and as direct owner, representing approximately 0.16% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; the California Fund owned 1,170,941 shares of Common Stock both beneficially and as direct owner, representing approximately 2.16% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; the California II Fund owned 169,701 shares of Common Stock both beneficially and as direct owner, representing approximately 0.31% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and Holdco owned 603,030 shares of Common Stock both beneficially and as direct owner, representing approximately 1.11% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of July 18, 2008, the 2,031,549 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned in the aggregate by the Fund, which shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Advisor and Mr. Breeden, represent approximately 3.75% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. All percentages set forth in this paragraph relating to beneficial ownership of Common Stock are based upon 54,162,391 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares outstanding as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

For purposes of disclosing the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, the General Partner, as general partner of the Delaware Fund, the California Fund and the California II Fund, may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) all the Common Shares that are owned beneficially and directly by the Delaware Fund, the California Fund and the California II Fund. The Advisor, as the investment manager for the Fund, and Mr. Breeden, as Managing Member of the Advisor and the General Partner, and as the Key Principal of the Offshore Investors Fund, may be deemed to own beneficially all the Common Shares that are owned beneficially and directly by the Fund. Each of the General Partner, the Advisor and Mr. Breeden disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes. BPC may be deemed to own beneficially all the Common Shares that are owned beneficially and directly by Holdco. The Delaware Fund, the California Fund and Holdco each disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares held directly by the others.

 

Page 10 of 13

(d) Not applicable.

(e) As of July 18, 2008, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns more than five percent of the Common Stock.
