Material Changes
The material change reported is the downward adjustment of exercise prices and the upward adjustment of share counts for all listed warrants and CVRs. These changes were effective immediately prior to the opening of business on November 28, 2012 (for warrants) and immediately after the Record Date of November 27, 2012 (for CVRs). The adjustments were mandated by antidilution provisions in the respective agreements due to the special dividend.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future operations, or discussion of general business risks. The primary contingency noted is the execution of the special cash dividend, which has already triggered the contractual adjustments described above.
