agreement with the underwriters.

registration statement relating to the shares of common stock has been filed with the SEC
but has not yet become effective. The shares may not be sold nor may offers to buy be
accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.
