The sole purpose of this amendment is to correct a typographical error that appeared in each of (i) Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K that was furnished to the Commission on January 3, 2012, (ii) Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 6-K that was furnished to the Commission on December 2, 2011, (iii) Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K that was furnished to the Commission on November 2, 2011, and (iv) Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 6-K that was furnished to the Commission on October 7, 2011. The word “since” occurring in the bottom line of the table included in each of these exhibits has been replaced by the word “through” to indicate that the total number of shares purchased under the share buy back program set out in the bottom line of those tables represents the amount of shares purchased through the date stated therein (and not since such date, as indicated in the original Form 6-K submissions). No other amendments have been made.
