following the board of directors' decision to reach an agreement with founder and former CEO Richard Schulze.

Under the agreement, Mr. Schulze will have an opportunity to propose a fully financed definitive proposal within 60 days after the commencement of the due diligence period. However, in the event the proposal is rejected, Mr. Schulze would not be able to submit a second proposal until after Jan. 2013.
