After reviewing the company's debt structure, market conditions and the price of the notes, the repurchase of the aforementioned notes will improve the debt structure. The Company may continue to repurchase senior notes as when appropriate.

Noteholders and potential investors should note that whether any purchase of the notes from time to time by the Company will be at the Board's sole and absolute discretion. There is no assurance of the timing, amount or price of any purchase of the Notes, nor does it guarantee that the company will purchase more notes. Noteholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in any notes.
