8K incorrectly stated 888 shares were issued as part of &#147;cashless exercises.&#148; The correct number
of additional shares issued as part of &#147;cashless exercises&#148; was 1,989 shares. Further, despite an
incorrect statement in the original filing of this Form&nbsp;8K to the contrary, Citizens has warrants
outstanding regarding its Class&nbsp;A Common Shares that are set to expire on July&nbsp;7, 2012, September
30, 2012 and October&nbsp;6, 2012. These warrants were originally issued in connection with the sale of
Citizens&#146; Series&nbsp;A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock in July&nbsp;2005.
