1. It is unclear why setting both a dollar and number of shares limit is consistent with prior
no action guidance. Please revise to conf orm the offer structure to our no action
precedent. Be mindful of your extension obligations, given the change in the offer
structure. In addition, advise how you will disseminate the amended offer materials describing the revised offer terms.
