Another 1.5 million shares held by the trust remain subject to the restrictions.

Sales of common stock are often restricted when companies go public so that insiders can't sell large volumes of stock and depress the share price. Restrictions often provide that some shares can be sold after designated periods. The 2005 agreement generally prohibited sale or transfer of restricted stock as long as New Mountain owns 15 percent or more of the voting stock. This agreement follows New Mountain's purchase of just over 15.5 million shares through the exercise of options in May and June. That boosted its holdings to just over 40.8 million shares out of nearly 66 million outstanding.
