Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,247,610 shares of the Company’s common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On September 29, 2009, Keefe Bruyette, as representative of the Underwriters, provided written notice that the Underwriters would be partially exercising the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,012,610 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Over-allotment Shares”) at $11.50 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The sale of the Over-allotment Shares was completed on October 1, 2009, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses, of approximately $11.1 million, bringing the total net proceeds to the Company from the offering to an estimated $101.6 million.
