Additional Information:
General
At March 27, 1999, the Company had outstanding indebtedness
totalling $167.367 billion, consisting of notes payable within
one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated
notes payable after one year. The total amount of outstanding
indebtedness at March 27, 1999 excluding subordinated notes
payable after one year was equal to $166.670 billion.
Consolidated Ratio of Earning to Fixed Charges.
The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption
"Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby
amended in its entirety, as follows:
Year Ended December 31, Three Months Ended
1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 March 27, 1999
1.63 1.51 1.53 1.48 1.50 1.53
For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings
to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted
for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and
fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and discount
on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which the
Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest
factor of such rentals.
Plan of Distribution:
The Notes are being purchased by Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
(the "Underwriter"), as principal, at the Issue Price of
100.00% of the aggregate principal amount less an underwriting
discount equal to 1.50% of the principal amount of the Notes.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
