The Company confirms the previously announced two-for-one stock split to be effected by a dividend of one share of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding, with a record date of March 21, 2008 and a distribution date of April 2, 2008. The dividend was subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 300,000,000 to 750,000,000. Such approval was obtained at the annual stockholders meeting on March 11, 2008 and the dividend will be paid on the distribution date. Following the distribution date, the price of the Company’s common stock will be reflected on a post-split basis.
