Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons hereby add the following disclosure to this Item 4:

 

On March 28, 2013, Roust Trading commenced its previously disclosed offer to exchange, for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing 2013 Notes, (a) $193.17 principal amount of senior secured Replacement Notes due 2016 issued by Roust Trading, and (b) $160.97 in cash.  Such exchange offer is being made pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 to certain eligible holders of the Existing 2013 Notes who are either accredited investors or offshore investors as contemplated by Roust Trading’s agreement with the Ad Hoc 2013 Notes Committee.

 

The Replacement Notes bear interest payable in additional Replacement Notes or in cash at Roust Trading’s sole discretion, initially at 10% per annum, with a 1% step-up per annum to a maximum of 12%.

 

The Reporting Persons may in the future engage in conversations with the Issuer, other stockholders and/or other security holders with respect to this matter or other transactions or changes in governance, management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer and may make additional proposals that may include proposing, considering or undertaking one or more of the actions set forth in subsection (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.

This disclosure is not an offer to sell securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Replacement Notes due 2016 will not be registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
