Of the $29,000,000 aggregate principal amount of TIDES Preferred Securities called for redemption
by the Trust on February 8, 2007, $28,941,000 was converted into 1,619,048 shares of Hanover Common
Stock. The Company previously reported in a press release that the Trust made a partial call for
redemption of the TIDES Preferred Securities and TIDES Common Securities on the basis of one TIDES
Preferred or Common Security per $50 principal amount of Debentures which at the election of the
holder thereof could be immediately converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a
conversion price of approximately $17.875 per share, or 2.7972 shares of common stock of the
Company per $50 principal amount. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
obligations of the Trust to the holders of the TIDES Preferred Securities and the TIDES Common
Securities.
The shares of common stock were issued solely to holders of the TIDES Preferred Securities upon
conversion of the TIDES Preferred Securities pursuant to the exemption from registration provided
under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which is available since the
shares of common stock were exchanged by the Company with its existing security holders exclusively
where no commission or other remunerations was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting
such an exchange.
