liquidity for future growth and increase its bonding capacity.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The securities described above are being offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration
statement which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July&nbsp;16, 2008 and became
effective on August&nbsp;4, 2008. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities
in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The
completion of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Copies of the final prospectus supplement and base prospectus relating to the offering can be
