Except as specifically set forth herein, the Schedule 13d remains unmodified. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The filing persons believe that the Company's shares trade at a large discount (currently about 25%) to net asset value. They have proposed that management and the Board consider measures to address the discount including causing the Company to repurchase its shares in the stock market and/or conduct a self-tender offer. Since the Company has more than $160 million in cash (as of September 30, 2012), we think there is no better current investment for the Company than buying its own shares at a sizeable discount.
