Amended Offer

The Company announced that it increased the exchange consideration by $.50 per share for the Series G ADSs and the Series H ADSs and extended the Exchange Offer through the Extended Expiration Date.  For the Series H ADS only, the Company announced that it was no longer seeking consent from the holders of the Series H ADSs to the proposed amendments to the certificate of designation under which the underlying shares of Series H Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock were issued (the “Series H ADS Consent Solicitation”).

The amended terms of the Exchange Offer provide as follows: Series G ADSs For Series G ADS surrendered, the Company is offering:

• $7.75 in cash and/or
• $8.78 principal amount of the Notes

The revised consideration represents a premium of (1) 125% per share in cash and (2) 155% per share in Notes to the unaffected share price at the launch of the exchange offer.

Series H ADSs For Series H ADS surrendered, the Company is offering:

• $7.66 in cash and/or
• $8.69 principal amount of the Notes

The Company is no longer seeking the Series H ADS Consent Solicitation.

In addition, no more than $7.8 million of Notes will be issued for Series G ADSs and no more than $7.8 million of Notes will be issued for Series H ADSs and any Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs tendered in excess of this limitation will be deemed to have made a cash election instead.
