Selling Stockholders, at a price of $97.04 per share. The secondary offering was completed on November 19, 2013. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the secondary offering.
The sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders was made pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-183862) (the
