A total of 3,000,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the DRIP. The Company declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.29 per share payable on January 31, 2013 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2012.

The manner, price, number and timing of share repurchases will be subject to a variety of factors, including market conditions and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
