As of December 10, 1999, Carol J. Barnett was the beneficial owner, as
that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, (the "Act") of a total of 11,840,708 shares of the Company's common
stock, or approximately 5.48% thereof. Changes that occurred prior to such date
and since the filing of the fifth amendment to the initial statement are
reflected on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
On December 10, 1999, for personal planning reasons, Carol J. Barnett
created the Carol J. Barnett 1999 Irrevocable Trust (the "Carol J. Barnett
Trust"), and transferred 10,614,033 shares of the Company's common stock held
directly in her individual name to Wilmington Trust Company (Delaware), as
Trustee of the Carol J. Barnett Trust. On the same date, Carol J. Barnett and
her husband Hoyt. R. Barnett, as General Partners of the Barnett Family Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), created the Barnett FLP 1999 Irrevocable Trust
(the "FLP" Trust) and transferred 1,226,675 shares of the Company's common stock
held by the Partnership to Wilmington Trust Company (Delaware), as Trustee of
the FLP Trust. Because the Trustee of each of the Carol J. Barnett Trust and the
FLP Trust holds the sole voting and dispositive powers with respect to the
shares held in the respective trusts, upon the transfers, Carol J. Barnett was
the beneficial owner of only 610 shares, which she held as custodian for minor
children.
Under the terms of the each of the Carol J. Barnett Trust and the FLP
Trust, the trusts automatically terminate on February 28, 2000 and at such time
any assets then in the trusts (including any shares of the common stock of the
Company) are to be distributed to the respective grantors. Accordingly, as of
December 31, 1999, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Act, Carol J. Barnett
again became the beneficial owner of the shares held in the Trusts and for this
reason is shown as having shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to
the shares although she has no power to vote or dispose of the shares at the
present time.
Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class
- -----------------------------------------------------
During the period between December 10, 1999 and December 31, 1999,
Carol J. Barnett was the beneficial owner of less than five percent of the
Company's common stock. See the discussion in Item 4 above.
Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income and other earnings of the Barnett Family Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership") (including that derived from dividends paid on the Company's
common stock and proceeds from any sales thereof) may be distributed to the
partners of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement of the Partnership. Any dividends paid on, and any proceeds from the
sale of, the Company's common stock held by Carol J. Barnett as custodian for
minor children may be distributed to or otherwise used for the benefit of such
children.
