Item 8.01.              Other Events.

 

The Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 was declared effective on April 25, 2008 and registered a maximum of 182,251,082 shares of our Units (with each Unit consisting of one Common Share and one Series A Preferred Share).  The Company completed its minimum offering of Units at $10.50 per Unit on May 14, 2008, and has since continued the offering at $11 per Unit in accordance with the prospectus.  Under the terms of the prospectus, the offering was set to expire upon either 1) the date all Units were sold or 2) April 25, 2010, which ever was to occur sooner, unless the offering was otherwise extended by the Company.

 

On April 15, 2010, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to extend the offering period for one additional year, as provided by the prospectus.  As a result, our best-efforts offering will continue until all Units offered under the prospectus have been sold or until April 25, 2011, which ever shall occur sooner.
