Dividends
We have not declared or paid recurring dividends since prior to our 2007 merger. However, prior
to our IPO, on September 8, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a special dividend on our
outstanding common stock of approximately $239.3 million in the aggregate. The special dividend was
paid on September 11, 2009 to shareholders of record on September 8, 2009 with cash generated from
operations. We have no current plans to pay any cash dividends on our common stock and instead may
retain earnings, if any, for future operation and expansion and debt repayment. Any decision to declare
and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will
depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition,
contractual restrictions and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition,
our ability to pay dividends is limited by covenants in our Credit Facilities and in the indentures
governing our outstanding 10.625% senior notes due 2015 (the ‘‘Senior Notes’’) and 11.875%/12.625%
senior subordinated toggle notes due 2017 (the ‘‘Senior Subordinated Notes’’ and, collectively with the
Senior Notes, the ‘‘Notes’’). See ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’ in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report for a description
of restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.
