On August 26, 2009, a family limited partnership of which the reporting person is a general and limited partner, Promerica LP, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan with an unaffiliated commercial bank to execute a series of variable prepaid forward sale contracts. On October 18, 2010, Promerica settled a prepaid variable contract originally entered into on October 16, 2009. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $401,711.10 to the reporting person.
The forward sale contract obligated Promerica to deliver to the bank at maturity up to 50,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock depending on market prices at maturity. If the market price per share at maturity was equal to or less than the floor price of $9.9804 per share, Promerica would deliver 50,000 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity was greater than the floor price, Promerica would deliver a fewer number of shares. The closing market price per share on October 18, 2010 was $6.20. Accordingly, Promerica transferred to the bank 50,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock.
