The Registration Statement registered (1) in a primary offering, common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share; preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share; debt securities; subsidiary guarantees of debt securities; and warrants of the Registrant having an aggregate public offering price of up to $250 million, and (2) in a secondary offering, 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
