No shares of common stock were held by the issuer in its treasury. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offerors and are as of July 15, 2011, the most recent practicable date.
 
** The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Advisory #5 for fiscal year 2011, issued December 22, 2010, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.0001161.
