Elliott Working Capital
Elliott directly or indirectly acquired 8,941,126 shares of Common Stock, on a fully converted basis, including the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase 94 shares of Common Stock.  Elliott purchased 173,760 shares using its working capital at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4,834,613.

The Reporting Persons may effect purchases of shares of Common Stock through margin accounts maintained for them with prime brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms’ credit policies. Positions in shares of Common Stock may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts. Since other securities may be held in such margin accounts, it may not be possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Persons, directly or indirectly, acquired securities of the Issuer necessitating this filing in consideration for claims extinguished as part of the Issuer’s emergence from Bankruptcy. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to (i) increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the securities of the Issuer without affecting their beneficial ownership of the Common Stock. No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein.
