The following paragraphs hereby replace in their entirety the
paragraphs set forth in Item 16, Certain Legal Matters; Required Regulatory Approvals Litigation, of the Offer to Purchase:
Following the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, on December 12, 2008, a purported
shareholder class action was filed by Lori Weinrib in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, in Pinellas County, Florida against the Company, the directors of the Company and Green Courte Partners, LLC. The complaint alleged, among other
things: (1) the Chief Executive Officer and the directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties of care, good faith and loyalty to holders of the Companys common stock and (2) Green Courte Partners, LLC aided and abetted such
breaches. The Plaintiff sought an award of damages in an unspecified amount. On January 27, 2009, the Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed her complaint without prejudice.
On December 30, 2008, Lori Weinrib filed another purported shareholder class action and individual action in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division against the Company and its
directors. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company and the directors of the Company violated Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act by providing materially incomplete and misleading information concerning the proposed transaction and
that the directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties of care, good faith and loyalty to holders of Common Stock. On January 15, 2009, the Plaintiff moved for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Offer, seeking additional disclosures
concerning the proposed transaction. The Plaintiffs motion was denied on February 3, 2009.
