(1) Includes 5,000 TECONS held in The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company
Group Annuity Separate Account.

         None of the selling securityholders has, or within the past three years
has had, any position,  office or other material  relationship with us or any of
our  predecessors  or  affiliates,  other  than  Donaldson,  Lufkin  &  Jenrette
Securities  Corporation,  J.P. Morgan Securities,  Inc. and Merrill Lynch Pierce
Fenner & Smith, Inc. who were initial  purchasers in connection with the initial
offering of the TECONS and who have engaged and may engage in certain investment
banking  transactions with us. None of the selling  securityholders,  other than
AFTRA Health Fund which owns 48,484  shares,  BNP Arbitrage SNC which owns 4,100
shares, and Mainstay Convertible Fund which owns 315,146 shares, owns any shares
of common  stock.  Our  registration  of the  TECONS,  the  junior  subordinated
debentures and the common stock issuable upon  conversion of the TECONS does not
necessarily  mean that the  selling  shareholders  will sell all or any of these
securities. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some portion of
the TECONS, the junior subordinated debentures or the common stock issuable upon
conversion  of the TECONS,  we cannot  estimate  the amount of the  TECONS,  the
junior  subordinated  debentures or the common stock issuable upon conversion of
the TECONS that will be held by the selling  securityholders upon termination of
any such sales. In addition,  the selling  securityholders  identified above may
have  sold,  transferred  or  otherwise  disposed  of all or a portion  of their
TECONS,  since the date on which they provided the  information  regarding their
TECONS,  in  transactions  exempt  from  the  registration  requirements  of the
Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution."

         Only selling securityholders  identified above who beneficially own the
offered securities set forth opposite each such selling securityholder's name in
the  preceding  table  may  sell  such  offered   securities   pursuant  to  the
registration  statement.  Prior to any use of this prospectus in connection with
an offering of the TECONS  and/or the junior  subordinated  debentures or common
stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of  the  TECONS  by  any  securityholder  not
identified  above,  we will  supplement  this prospectus to include the name and
number of shares beneficially owned by the selling  securityholder  intending to
sell such TECONS and/or common stock,  and the number of TECONS and/or shares of
common  stock to be offered.  If  necessary,  we will  disclose in a  prospectus
supplement   any  other   required   information   about  any  of  the   selling
securityholders.
