The sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-181351) (the “Registration Statement”), including a prospectus supplement dated July 18, 2012 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the prospectus contained therein dated May 11, 2012 (the “Base Prospectus”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
