Explanatory Note
Due to an administrative error, the Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2013 included a reference to an incorrect fiscal year within Exhibit 32. We are therefore amending our Form 10-K for the sole purpose of filing an amended and restated Exhibit 32 to reflect the correct fiscal year.
Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K or modify or update the disclosure contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K in any way other than as discussed above.
