ITEM 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
On January 21, 2010, pursuant to the December 22, 2000 Registration Rights Agreement (described in Item 6 of Amendment 7 to this Schedule 13D), the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a secondary offering by IMCG II, Penske Corporation and/or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries of shares of Voting Common Stock. IMCG II, Penske Corporation and/or its wholly-owned subsidiary expects to sell in the proposed offering up to approximately 5,750,000 shares of Voting Common Stock, including shares of Voting Common Stock subject to the over-allotment option Penske Corporation and/or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries expects to grant to the underwriters in connection with the proposed offering. Penske Corporation expects to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering for working capital purposes that may include the repayment of amounts outstanding under Penske Corporation’s credit facilities.
After the offering is completed (and assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full), the Reporting Persons will beneficially own approximately 31,722,438 shares, representing approximately 34.6% of the Voting Common Stock outstanding.

By reason of the Stockholders Agreement (described in Item 6 of Amendment 19 to this Schedule 13D), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be deemed to be part of a “group” that includes Mitsui and, therefore, share beneficial ownership of the shares of Voting Common Stock beneficially owned by Mitsui. In Amendment 5 to a Schedule 13D filed by Mitsui on September 18, 2006, Mitsui reported beneficial ownership of 15,559,217 shares of Voting Common Stock. After the offering is completed (and assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full), including the 15,559,217 shares reported as beneficially owned by Mitsui, the Reporting Persons under this Schedule 13D, will beneficially own approximately 47,281,655 shares, representing approximately 51.6% of the Voting Common Stock outstanding.
The Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Voting Common Stock held by Mitsui.
