Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the tender offer, has completed its verification process and advised that, as of the expiration of the guaranteed delivery period associated with tender offer on August 27, 2013, a total of 2,058,422 shares of the Company's common stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, representing approximately 68.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis as of July 11, 2013.
On August 23, 2013, Steel accepted for payment 1,316,866 shares of the Company's common stock that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer.
