Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On March 14, 2007, our board of directors approved a three-for-one split of the company’s
$0.0001 par value per share common stock (“Common Stock”), in the form of a stock dividend.
Shareholders of record on March 14, 2007 received a stock dividend of two additional shares
of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock they own. The additional shares were issued in
book-entry form at American Stock Transfer & Trust Company on March 14, 2007. As a result of the
stock dividend, the Company has approximately 157 million shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.
