The Company’s offer for the 2 3/4% LYONs is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 21, 2002 and amended on July 9, 2002 and July 10, 2002 (the “Offer to Purchase’’), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, with respect to the 2 3/4% LYONs, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer’’), copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.
