Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
|
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time engage in discussions with management and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) concerning, among other things, the business, operations, available strategic alternatives and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, making proposals concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, Board composition or operations of the Issuer, nominating directors, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, entering into financial instruments or other agreements that increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ economic or beneficial exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
|
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
|
|
Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
|
(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 125,380,118 Shares outstanding, as of July 27, 2015, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2015.
As of the close of business on August 5, 2015, Master Fund owned directly 8,799,052 Shares, constituting approximately 7.02% of the Shares outstanding, Fund II owned directly 1,699,374 Shares, constituting approximately 1.36% of the Shares outstanding and Ktown owned directly 2,001,574 Shares, constituting approximately 1.60% of the Shares outstanding.

Blitzer and Shanon may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by the Funds.
(b) Each of Master Fund, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Master Fund. Each of Ktown, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Ktown.

Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

Item 6.
|
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
|
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

The Swap Agreements provide Fund II with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the Shares that are the subject of the Swap Agreements (such shares, the “Subject Shares”). Taking into account the Subject Shares, Fund II has economic exposure to an aggregate of 2,007,874 Shares (representing approximately 1.60% of the outstanding Shares on the same basis).
