#391635 RE: Gamco #391626

Gamco: I would say no. According to the terms of the issue the following are the various possible reasons for adjusting the conversion rate (I omitted the formula calculations):

SECTION 10.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) If the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:


(b) If the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of 45 calendar days or less from the issuance date for such distribution, shares of the Common Stock at a price per share less than the average Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the ten Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, the Con version Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other of its assets or property to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding:
(i) dividends or distributions as to which adjustment is required to be effected pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above;
(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which adjustment is required to be effected pursuant to clause (d) below; and
(iii) Spin-Offs described below in the second paragraph of this clause (c),
then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

(d) If the Company pays any cash dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (other than dividends or distributions made in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or upon a merger, consolidation or sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition resulting in a change in the conversion consideration as described under Section 10.05), other than a regular quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.10 per share (the “Dividend Threshold Amount”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
