Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
     On January 28, 2010, the Company issued a press release regarding the Company’s financial results for the period ended December 31, 2009 and filed a Form 8-K furnishing the press release. Subsequent to the issuance of the press release and the filing of the Form 8-K, the Company identified a reclassification to the consolidated balance sheet related to the Company’s deferred tax asset, income tax payable and goodwill balance. The financial information included in the prospectus supplement filed by the Company today reflects the reclassification. Although the reclassification is not material, this amendment to the Company’s Form 8-K is being filed to reflect the change in the Company’s balance sheet in conformity with the information included in the prospectus supplement. The Company’s amended balance sheet is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
