into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) with the Issuer and Alfa Delaware Merger Sub., Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AMI and AMF (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;). Under the terms of the Agreement,
Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the &#147;Merger&#148;), and as a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of
the Merger, each share of Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned by the Issuer, any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, AMI, AMF, Merger Sub and stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand
for appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash, without interest, including those shares of Common Stock held by AMG. As a result of the Merger, the Issuer will be wholly owned by
AMI and AMF. No funds were required in connection with the execution of the Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In connection with the Merger, AMI and AMF estimate

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Issuer will fund up to $500 million of the total Merger consideration and associated fees and expenses, and AMI and AMF will together fund the
remaining approximately $340 million. The amount paid by each of AMI and AMF will be proportionate to their respective ownership of Merger Sub, which currently is 23% held by AMI and 77% held by AMF. </FONT></P> <P

will acquire all the outstanding shares of Common Stock not held by them for $22.00 in cash per share, including those shares of Common Stock held by AMG. As a result of the Merger, the Issuer will be wholly owned by AMI and AMF. The Merger is a
transaction through which AMI, AMF and Merger Sub intend to effect a Rule 13e-3 transaction (as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;)) with respect to the Issuer. Each share of Common Stock
outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned by the Issuer, any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, AMI, AMF, Merger Sub and stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights under Delaware
law) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash, without interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the Agreement, (i)&nbsp;each

as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Merger, an amount in cash equal to the product of (A)&nbsp;the number of shares subject to such stock option, multiplied by (B)&nbsp;the excess, if any, of the per-share Merger consideration of

share awards as dividend equivalents) will vest, become free from any such restrictions as of the effective time of the Merger, and at the effective time of the Merger, the holder thereof will be entitled to receive $22.00 in cash for each such

number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals and obtaining approval of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. AMI and AMF have agreed to vote
all shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger. This agreement by AMI and AMF ensures that the Agreement will be adopted and approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger, as
required by Delaware law. The Merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result of the Merger, (a)&nbsp;the
