The preceding table has been prepared based upon information furnished to
the Company by the Depository Trust Company, PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc., trustee
under the Indenture, and by or on behalf of the Selling Securityholders.
Additional information concerning ownership of the Debentures and Conversion
Shares offered hereby rests with certain holders of the Debentures and
Conversion Shares who are not named in the preceding table, with whom the
Company believes it has no affiliation and from whom the Company has received
no response to its request for such information.
In view of the fact that Selling Securityholders may offer all or a portion
of the Debentures or Conversion Shares held by them pursuant to the offering
contemplated by this Prospectus, and because this offering is not being
underwritten on a firm commitment basis, no estimate can be given as to the
amount of Debentures or the number of Conversion Shares that will be held by
the Selling Securityholders after completion of the offering made hereby. In
addition, the Selling Securityholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of all or a portion of their Debentures and/or Conversion Shares,
since the date on which they provided the information set forth above, in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Information concerning the Selling Securityholders may change from time to
time and any such changed information will be set forth in supplements to this
Prospectus if and when necessary. In addition, the per share conversion price,
and therefor the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures,
is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Accordingly, the
aggregate principal amount of Debentures and the number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures offered hereby may increase or
decrease.
