Because this first dividend covers a longer period of time (both the first quarter of 2008 and the portion of December 2007 after the original issuance of this stock), this payment is more than the regular quarterly dividend of $1.
The dividend covers all classes of the Company's stock, and will be payable on April 12, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2007.
As the second dividend covers a two-month period, rather than a three-month period, the second dividend will be $0.
