intends to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 to
register the rights, the common stock issuable upon exercise of the rights,
the

Company also expects to enter into a dealer manager agreement with a securities
dealer. It expects that the agreement will provide that the dealer manager
will
solicit exercise of the rights and also underwrite the units not subscribed
for
in the rights offering on a best efforts basis.
The
Company’s announcement noted that the Company has not entered into any
definitive agreement with respect to the rights offering and that the terms
of
the rights offering are subject to change in the discretion of the Company’s
board of directors.
