Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The filing reports a material change in the Company's capital structure through the entry into a definitive agreement for the issuance of convertible debt.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company completed the offering in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A. Initial purchasers were J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated.
Key Terms and Contingencies:
- Conversion Rights: Holders may convert notes beginning March 15, 2013, or earlier under specific conditions (e.g., stock price exceeding 120% of conversion price for 20 days in a quarter, or trading price of notes falling below 98% of conversion value).
- Fundamental Change: If a fundamental change occurs, holders may require the Company to repurchase notes at 100% of principal plus accrued interest.
- Registration Rights: The Company agreed to file a shelf registration statement for the resale of securities issued upon conversion. Failure to maintain this registration or remove transfer legends may trigger additional interest payments.
- Settlement: Conversion will be settled in cash up to the principal amount, with the excess paid in shares of common stock.
Risks: The notes are unregistered securities and may not be sold except in registered or exempt transactions. The filing does not provide specific forward-looking guidance on revenue or earnings.
Important Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total principal amount of $85,000,000 and the 5.375% interest rate obligation.
- Confirm the conversion price of approximately $21.35 per share and the initial conversion rate.
- Review the conditions under which holders can force conversion or require repurchase (fundamental change).
- Check the status of the shelf registration statement required under the Registration Rights Agreement to avoid potential additional interest penalties.
- Note that the filing does not contain operational financial results (revenue, net income, cash flow) for the period.
