Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

See Item 4 for a description of the expected purchase by OCM GW of shares of Common Stock in the Issuer’s public offering expected to close on December 22, 2009.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

(a)-(b), (d), (e) & (g)

Effective December 6, 2009 (but subject to the consent of the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock which was obtained on December 7, 2009), Cassidy J. Traub, age 28, was appointed as a director of the Issuer, increasing the size of the board of directors of the Issuer from five to six. Mr. Traub is a Vice President at Oaktree Capital Management, LP, an affiliate of OCM GW.

On December 8, 2009, the Issuer amended the terms of its Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), as set forth in the Issuer’s Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series G Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 27, 2005 (the “Certificate of Designation”), by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Certificate of Amendment was recommended for approval by an independent committee of the Issuer’s board of directors and approved on December 7, 2009 by OCM GW and OCM Crimson, a majority of the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock.

CUSIP NO. 22662K 20 7

The Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Designation by providing for the automatic conversion of all the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock in connection with the consummation of a registered underwritten offering of the Issuer’s Common Stock on or before April 30, 2010, at the lower of the conversion price then in effect or at the price the shares of Common Stock are sold to the public in the registered underwritten offering. Under the terms of the Series H Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Series H Preferred Stock”), if OCM GW or its affiliates convert their Series G Preferred Stock, a proportionate amount of shares of Series H Preferred Stock will automatically convert into Common Stock. On December 8, 2009, the Issuer announced the launch of its public offering of shares of its Common Stock, and on December 16 announced the pricing of the public offering of 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at $5.00 per share. The offering is expected to close on December 22, 2009. It is expected that OCM GW or an affiliate will purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the offering at a price of $5.00 per share for an aggregate consideration of $10 million.

After giving effect to the amendment to the Series G Preferred Certificate of Designations and based on the $5.00 offer price, subject to the consummation of the Issuer’s public offering, the 76,710 shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by OCM GW and OCM Crimson are expected to automatically convert into approximately 11,230,619 shares of Common Stock based on a $5.00 conversion price and accrued dividends and a conversion date of December 2009, and the 2,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by OCM GW are expected to automatically convert into 285,715 shares of Common Stock. In the aggregate, it is expected that approximately 12,085,488 shares of Common Stock will be issued to all holders thereof upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock in connection with the closing of the Issuer’s public offering.

Prior to the consummation of the public offering and automatic conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, the 76,700 shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by OCM GW are convertible at OCM GW’s option into approximately 6,134,883 shares of Common Stock based on the current $9.00 conversion price and accrued dividends at September 30, 2009, and the 10 shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by OCM Crimson are convertible at OCM Crimson’s option into approximately 800 shares of Common Stock based on the current $9.00 conversion price and accrued dividends at September 30, 2009.

The description contained in this Item 4 of the amendment to the Certificate of Designation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibit 99(a) hereto.

The Reporting Persons will continuously evaluate the Issuer's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and all other factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock will be acquired by OCM GW, OCM Crimson, the Oaktree Fund or by other affiliated investment funds and accounts or whether OCM GW, OCM Crimson, the Oaktree Fund or any such other affiliated investment funds and accounts will dispose of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. At any time, additional shares of Common Stock may be acquired or some or all of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons may be sold, in either case in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their best knowledge, any Covered Persons have any current plans or proposals that would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, as part of its ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

The information contained on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. See Item 4 above for a description of the amendment to the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Preferred Stock, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the automatic conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock and the expected purchase by OCM GW or an affiliate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, each of which is contingent upon the closing by the Issuer of a registered underwritten public offering of its Common Stock.

OCM GW directly holds the Issuer’s Common Stock (or, as discussed below, shares of the Issuer’s preferred stock convertible into shares of the Common Stock) and has sole power to vote and dispose of the Issuer’s Common Stock (or, as discussed below, shares of the Issuer’s preferred stock convertible into shares of the Common Stock). OCM GW owns 2,006,486 shares of Common Stock, and has the right to acquire an additional (1) 6,134,883 shares of Common Stock pursuant to conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock at OCM GW’s option at the current $9.00 conversion price (including accrued dividends to September 30, 2009), which votes on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock, and (2) 285,715 shares of Common Stock pursuant to conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, which votes on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock.

OCM Crimson directly holds the Issuer’s Common Stock (or, as discussed below, shares of the Issuer’s preferred stock convertible into shares of the Common Stock) and has sole power to vote and dispose of the Issuer’s Common Stock (or, as discussed below, shares of the Issuer’s preferred stock convertible into shares of the Common Stock). OCM Crimson has the right to acquire 800 shares of Common Stock pursuant to conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock at OCM Crimson’s option at the current $9.00 conversion price (including accrued dividends to September 30, 2009), which votes on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock.

As previously disclosed, as dividends accrue on the Series G Preferred Stock and are paid on the Series H Preferred Stock, OCM GW’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock will increase, as accrued dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock by and the Series H Preferred Stock pays quarterly dividends of Common Stock to the holders thereof.

The Series G Preferred Stock provides for an 8% cash dividend, expressed as a percentage of the stock's $500 liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Accrued dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock may be converted to Common Stock at a conversion price of $9.00 (subject to adjustment for recapitalizations and similar events) at the option of the holder or automatically at the lower of the $9.00 conversion price and the price shares of the Common Stock are sold to the public in a registered underwritten offering.

 

Holders of the Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly dividends of one share of Common Stock per share of Series H Preferred Stock, or four shares of Common Stock annually per share of Series H Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for recapitalizations and similar events).

 

The Oaktree Fund, in its capacity as the managing member of OCM GW, has the ability to direct the management of OCM GW's business, including the power to vote and dispose of securities held by OCM GW; therefore, the Oaktree Fund may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by OCM GW.

With respect to the shares of Common Stock reported herein, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power or the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the number of shares of Common Stock which such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own as set forth above.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons, other than OCM GW and OCM Crimson, that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock referred to herein for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed by each Reporting Person, other than OCM GW and OCM Crimson, except to the extent of such Reporting Person’s pecuniary interest, if any, in the Common Stock.

As described in Item 6 of the 13D, OCM GW entered into agreements with third parties regarding the Issuer's capital stock in connection with its initial purchase of the Issuer's capital stock.

Each Reporting Person disclaims the existence of a "group" and disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of the Common Stock other than any shares reported herein as being held of record by it.
