Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The aggregate purchase price of the 1,465,499 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is approximately $5,394,538.35, not including brokerage commissions, which was funded with working capital of the Reporting Persons. Privet Fund LP effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules, and the prime brokers’ credit policies.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, by any of the other persons named in response to Item 2, if any.
