SHACKLEFORD ROAD SUITE 605 LITTLE ROCK AR 72211 1 0 0 0 Restricted Stock Units 2017-06-16 4 M 0 2066 0 D Common Stock 2066 2479 D Restricted stock units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. This amendment is being filed to amend Form 4 filed June 20, 2017, which inadvertently indicated that the subject derivative securities were "Acquired (A)," rather than "Disposed of (D)" (Table II, Column 5. - Number of Derivative Securities Acquired (A) or Disposed of (D)). On June 16, 2014, the reporting person was granted 3,100 restricted stock units (subsequently adjusted to 3,444 restricted stock units following the Company's 1-for-9 stock dividend in December 2014), vesting 60% on the third anniversary of the grant date, with the remainder vesting in two equal installments on the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. In a prior filing, the reporting person inadvertently reported an incorrect grant date of June 13, 2014 for this award, instead of the actual grant date of June 16, 2014. /s/ Daniel C.
