Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
- -------------------------------
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and
the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of
business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.
Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or
dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each
Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional
Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon
an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing
market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements
of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations.
Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may
engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer,
one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the
board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of
the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its
operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected
may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of
additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate
transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of
directors or management of the Issuer.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal,
none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to,
or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a)
through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or
reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate
plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------
(a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2005, there were 70,295,248 shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2005. Based on
such information, after taking into account the transactions described in
Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the
following shares of Common Stock: (i) 1,413,300 shares of Common Stock
held by Blum L.P. and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for
which Blum L.P. serves as the general partner, or on behalf of an entity
for which Blum L.P. serves as investment advisor, which represents 2.0% of
CUSIP NO. 67018T105 SCHEDULE 13D Page 11 of 14
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 2,114,500 shares of the
Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP
III LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III,
which represents 3.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock;
(iii) 116,700 shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf
of a partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which
represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and
(iv) 40,700 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The
Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.
("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock and 40,700 shares of the Common Stock that are legally
owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning
Trust ("Virginia Electric"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with
respect to which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. Each Investment
Advisory Client has entered into an investment management agreement with
Blum L.P., but neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement
or understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other
Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition
or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client
disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other
Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any
shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own
account.
Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by
Blum L.P., Blum GP III and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may
be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to
have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,725,900 shares of the Common
Stock, which is 5.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general
partner of Blum L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities
over which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. The filing of this
Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders,
directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members
of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the
beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA
Inc., Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III or Saddlepoint GP.
c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons purchased the following shares
of Common Stock in the open market:
