ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS
                  OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  Item 3 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

                  Prior to July 1, 1998, the Issuer was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AutoNation. As of June 30, 1998, the Issuer had certain
obligations for borrowed money consisting of approximately $139.5 million due to
Republic Corporate Management Company, a subsidiary of AutoNation, and
approximately $255.9 million due to Republic Resources Company, Inc., a
subsidiary of AutoNation. On July 1, 1998, the Issuer issued 5,812,708 shares of
Class A Common Stock to Republic Corporate Management Company and 10,661,709
shares of Class A Common Stock to Republic Resources Company, Inc. in full
satisfaction of these intercompany payables and amounts due, and immediately
following such transactions, the total of 16,474,417 shares of Class A Common
Stock were transferred by such subsidiaries to AutoNation. As a result,
AutoNation acquired 16,474,416 shares of Class A Common Stock on July 1, 1998
through the repayment of debt by the Issuer to AutoNation's subsidiaries.

                  Prior to July 1, 1998, the Issuer's authorized capital stock
consisted of one series of common stock, and AutoNation owned all 100 issued and
outstanding shares of such common stock. AutoNation acquired such common stock
for nominal paid-in capital when the Issuer was incorporated by AutoNation in
1996. On July 1, 1998, the Issuer amended and restated its Certificate of
Incorporation to authorize two series of common stock, Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock (collectively, the "Common Stock"), and recapitalized the
100 shares of common stock into 95,688,083 shares of Class B Common Stock. As a
result, AutoNation owned all of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Class B
Common Stock, consisting of 95,688,083 shares.

                  Pursuant to the Issuer's Amended And Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, AutoNation is entitled, at any time or from time to time, to
convert all or any portion of its shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock
into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis. On March 2, 1999,
AutoNation converted all 95,688,083 shares of its Class B Common Stock of the
Issuer, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting
in a total of 112,162,500 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock held by
AutoNation.

                  On April 5, 1999, AutoNation transferred all of the
112,162,500 shares of Class A Common Stock to its subsidiary, ANIC, for no
consideration as additional paid-in capital.

                  On April 27, 1999, the Issuer, and the Reporting Persons
entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain U.S. underwriters in the United
States and Canada, and into a Purchase Agreement with certain international
managers outside the United States and Canada, pursuant to which ANIC agreed to
sell to the U.S. underwriters, and the U.S. underwriters agreed to purchase from
ANIC, 80,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and ANIC agreed to sell to the
international managers, and the international managers agreed to purchase from
ANIC, 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Under the Purchase Agreements,
ANIC granted an option to the U.S. underwriters to purchase up to 9,730,000
additional shares of Class A Common Stock and ANIC granted an option to the
international managers to purchase up to 2,432,500 additional shares of Class A
Common Stock. On May 3, 1999, ANIC sold 100,000,000 shares pursuant to the two
Purchase Agreements. 


ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                  Item 4 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

                  Since 1995, AutoNation has acquired and developed numerous
businesses in several industries in three broad business segments, consisting of
automotive retail, automotive rental and solid waste services. In May 1998,
AutoNation announced its intention to separate the Issuer, which constituted the
solid waste services businesses and operations of AutoNation, and the associated
assets and liabilities of such solid waste businesses and operations, from
AutoNation's other businesses and operations (the "Separation"). AutoNation also
announced its intention for the Issuer to complete an initial public offering of
the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, and to complete the Separation by
distributing to AutoNation's stockholders in 1999, subject to certain conditions
and consents, all of AutoNation's remaining interest in the Issuer (the
"Distribution"). AutoNation and the Issuer entered into a Separation and
Distribution Agreement with respect to these transactions, among other matters,
and the initial public offering by the Issuer was effective on June 30, 1998.
<PAGE>   5

                  In order to achieve part of the overall business purpose of
the foregoing transactions, which was to raise capital for AutoNation's future
acquisitions of automotive retail operations and other corporate purposes in the
most cost efficient manner, the Issuer declared and paid a $2.0 billion dividend
in April 1998 in the form of a series of promissory notes payable by the Issuer
to AutoNation. The amount of the dividend was determined based on AutoNation's
need for capital to fund future acquisitions and the Issuer's borrowing
capacity. By the completion of the Issuer's initial public offering, the
promissory notes were prepaid in full by the Issuer through certain transactions
with AutoNation, including the Issuer's payment of approximately $1,442.1
million in cash to AutoNation by applying all of the net proceeds of the
Issuer's initial public offering of 63,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to
prepayment of the balance of the remaining amounts outstanding under the
promissory notes. Other obligations owed by the Issuer to AutoNation's
subsidiaries were paid through the issuance of 16,474,417 shares of Class A
Common Stock as described above in ITEM 3 of this Statement.

                  The terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement
provided that AutoNation would only complete the Distribution of the shares of
the Issuer to AutoNation's stockholders subject to the satisfaction, or waiver
by AutoNation's board of directors, in its sole discretion, of certain
conditions. One of the conditions to the Distribution was that AutoNation obtain
a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to the
effect that, among other things, the Distribution would qualify as a tax-free
distribution for federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in form and substance
satisfactory to AutoNation. In July 1998, AutoNation filed its request for a
private letter ruling with the IRS, and continued to process the request through
February 1999, with the expectation of completing the Distribution in mid-1999.
In March 1999, the IRS advised AutoNation in writing that the IRS will not rule
as requested. As a result, with the Issuer's consent, AutoNation decided to sell
all of the Common Stock of the Issuer held by AutoNation.

                  In the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Issuer 
granted AutoNation certain registration rights with respect to the shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock held by AutoNation. As a result of the IRS decision not to
rule on AutoNation's request for a private letter ruling as requested,
AutoNation exercised its registration rights, and on March 3, 1999, the Issuer
filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission registering the 112,162,500 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common
Stock held by AutoNation (the "Offering"). 

                  On April 27, 1999, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer
entered into Purchase Agreements with several underwriters for the sale by ANIC
of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, as described in ITEM 3 above and
in ITEM 5(c) below. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, ANIC granted its
underwriters an option to purchase, in full or in part, from time to time until
May 26, 1999 all of the remaining 12,162,500 shares of Class A Common Stock
owned by ANIC.

                  Prior to its sale of the 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock, ANIC executed a proxy to vote all of its 112,162,500 shares of Class A
Common Stock in favor of all proposals to be presented by the Issuer at the
annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders on May 20, 1999, including votes in
favor of: 

                  (1) The election to the Issuer's board of directors of all of
                      the persons nominated by the Issuer to serve as directors;

                  (2) An amendment to the Issuer's amended and restated
                      certificate of incorporation to eliminate all
                      classifications of the Issuer's common stock;

                  (3) The ratification of the appointment of Arthur Andersen
                      LLP as the Issuer's independent public accountants for
                      1999; and

                  (4) The adoption of an employee stock purchase plan.

                  These proposals are described in detail in the Issuer's
definitive proxy statement mailed to its stockholders with respect to its
annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 20, 1999.                  
 
ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

(a) As of May 3, 1999, (i) ANIC directly beneficially owns 12,162,500 shares of
Class A Common Stock (the "Reported Stock"), representing approximately 6.9% of
the 175,412,500 total shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and
AutoNation may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such shares by
virtue of ANIC being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AutoNation, and (ii)
there are no shares of Class B Common Stock issued or outstanding. Prior to the
completion of the Offering on May 3, 1999, the Reporting Persons owned
approximately 63.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock
and were able to control virtually all matters requiring approval of the
stockholders of the Issuer, including the election of all of the Issuer's
directors. 

                  As of May 3, 1999, none of the persons listed above in ITEM 2
of this Statement, other than the Reporting Persons, individually or in the
aggregate beneficially owned more than 1% of the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock, except that each of such persons may be deemed, pursuant to Rule
13d-3
<PAGE>   6


under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be a beneficial owner
of the Reported Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons because such
persons are executive officers and/or directors of the respective Reporting
Persons. Each of such persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the
Reported Stock and the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any
shares of Class A Common Stock owned by any of such persons.

(b) As of May 3, 1999, ANIC has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and
the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of the Reported
Stock. By virtue of the relationship to ANIC described above, AutoNation may be
deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Reported
Stock.

         As of May 3, 1999, none of the persons listed above in ITEM 2 of this 
Statement, other than the Reporting Persons, individually or in the aggregate
has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote, or the sole or shared
power to dispose or direct the disposition of, any of the Reported Stock. Each
of such other persons individually has the sole power to vote or direct the
vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of only those
shares of Class A Common Stock which are directly owned by each of such persons,
respectively.

(c) The only transactions in the Class A Common Stock by either of the Reporting
Persons within the past 60 days was the transfer on April 5, 1999 by AutoNation
to ANIC of 112,162,500 shares of Class A Common Stock, and the sale on May 3,
1999 by ANIC of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $16.875
per share pursuant to an underwritten secondary public offering.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the Reported Stock.

(e) If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase the
Reported Stock in full, then the Reporting Persons will no longer own any 
interest in the Issuer.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
         RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Item 6  is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         The following constitute all contracts, arrangements, understandings

persons with respect to any securities of the Issuer:
