PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED MAY 30, 2000
TO PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 26, 2000
The prospectus is amended to reflect the 2-for-1 common stock split
effected in the form of a stock dividend payable June 6, 2000 to stockholders of
record on May 26, 2000. As a result of the stock split, holders may convert the
4.75% convertible senior notes due 2007 into common stock, at any time before
July 1, 2007 or the earlier redemption or repurchase of the convertible notes,
at a conversion price of $23.654 per share, subject to adjustment in specified
events. As a result, an aggregate of 25,365,688 shares of common stock may be
issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes and those shares as well as
200,000 shares of common stock held by another selling security holder may be
offered by the prospectus dated April 26, 2000, as amended.
Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, this prospectus
supplement also relates to Registration Statement No. 333-88971 pursuant to
which the convertible notes and some of the shares of common stock were
originally registered.
