Re. stock symbol / cusip - FRP

The above-listed stock is part of a non-mandatory reorganization or tender offer, which currently expires on 12/18/2009 and may require your timely attention. Information regarding voluntary offers initiated by the company is often included on their Web site. Information for third-party offers can be obtained by contacting your local branch office.

If you decide to participate in this offer, you will need to inform your local Scottrade branch office no later than 10 a.m. ET on the expiration date listed above, and a $25 fee will be charged to your account. These shares must then remain in your account until the reorg/tender takes place. Please note that the expiration date for such actions is often extended and terms of the offer are subject to change.

Scottrade is not endorsing or recommending the offer, and the terms have not been reviewed to determine if accepting the offer would be in your best interest. If you do not wish to participate in this offer, notification is not required and Scottrade will take no action on your behalf.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
