CUSIP NO. 057149106
 
On August 25, 2011, Starboard Value LP delivered a letter to Brad Mallory, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, and to the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  In the letter, Starboard Value LP expressed its belief that the Issuer is significantly undervalued and there are meaningful opportunities to greatly improve both operating and stock price performance.  Starboard Value LP stated that the two primary drivers behind the Issuer’s underperformance are its (i) insistence on continuing to pursue acquisitions, likely priced at significantly higher multiples than where the Issuer currently trades, and (ii) its significant underperformance relative to competitors in terms of its utilization rate and other operating metrics.  Starboard Value LP urges the Issuer not to commit any more capital to pursuing additional acquisitions and instead focus on improving operating margins.   Starboard Value LP also assessed the Issuer’s recent cost-cutting initiatives and believes there is significant room for the Issuer to further reduce costs without meaningfully impacting its competitive positioning or revenue base.  Starboard Value LP expressed its concern with certain aspects of the Issuer’s corporate governance practices, noting that Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has recommended shareholders withhold their votes for all members of the Board for the past two years.  Starboard Value LP is hopeful of commencing a constructive dialogue with the Board to discuss the issues set forth in the letter.
 
A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including seeking board representation or the annual election of directors) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 9,323,755 Shares outstanding, as of July 31, 2011, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2011.
