                  directors of Berkshire or SII, have been convicted, during the
                  last five years, in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                  As further described in Item 4 (the answer to which is
incorporated herein by reference), on October 19, 2000, Berkshire and SII
entered into an agreement to propose to acquire Shaw through a merger of SII
with and into Shaw (the "Merger"), and, in connection therewith, entered into a
related contribution agreement with certain members of Shaw's board of directors
and management, as well as certain other shareholders of Shaw. Berkshire and SII
also entered into a voting agreement with certain shareholders of Shaw. By
virtue of the contribution agreement and voting agreement and without the use of
any funds, Berkshire and SII acquired beneficial ownership, as provided in Rule
13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), of 40,877,986 shares of Shaw owned by Shaw shareholders who are party to
the voting agreement and/or the contribution agreement (based on numbers
provided by them). Berkshire and SII do not have an economic interest in such
shares. Berkshire also owns 2,194,200 shares of Shaw, which it purchased prior
to entering into these agreements.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

(A)-(B)           On October 19, 2000, Berkshire and SII entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Shaw. The Merger
Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and


                                  Page 7 of 11
<PAGE>   8

conditions thereof (including, without limitation, approval by the shareholders
of Shaw and certain regulatory approvals), SII will merge with and into Shaw
(the "Merger"), with Shaw continuing as the surviving corporation (the
"Surviving Corporation"). Upon consummation of the Merger, all of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than shares held by Shaw, SII, or any
of their respective subsidiaries, and shares which have perfected appraisal
rights), will be converted into the right to receive $19.00 per share in cash
(the "Merger Consideration"). The Merger will be subject to Section 13(e) of the
Exchange Act.

                In connection with the Merger Agreement, Berkshire and SII
entered into a contribution and participation agreement (the "Contribution
Agreement") with Robert E. Shaw (a director of Shaw and its Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer), certain of Mr. Shaw's family members and related family
interests, certain family interests of Julian D. Saul (a director of Shaw and
its President), Mr. Saul's wife, Anita Saul, W. Norris Little (through a family
limited partnership) and William C. Lusk (each a director of Shaw) and eight
other members of Shaw's management (collectively, the "Continuing
Shareholders"). The Contribution Agreement provides that, subject to the terms
and conditions thereof, Berkshire will contribute 2,194,200 shares of Common
Stock and cash in the amount of $2,016,686,315 to SII in exchange for
108,335,585 shares of SII common stock and the Continuing Shareholders will
contribute an aggregate of 15,802,638 shares of Common Stock to SII in exchange
for an equal amount of shares of SII common stock. In the Merger, the shares of
SII common stock will be converted into shares of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation.

                In connection with the Merger Agreement, Berkshire and SII also
entered into a voting agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with Robert E. Shaw,
the Julian D. Saul Family Trust, J.C. Shaw, Shaw Family Holdings, LLC, the Linda
Saul Schejola Family Trust, Julius Shaw, Jr., R. Julian McCamy, and Eleanor Shaw
McCamy. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of these shareholders is required
to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by such shareholder in favor of the
Merger and against any third party proposal, and each of them has granted
Berkshire an irrevocable proxy to vote all shares of Common Stock owned by such
shareholder at the special meeting called to consider and vote upon the Merger
and at any other meeting of Shaw shareholders at which the Merger is considered.
A total of 35,200,790 shares of Common Stock are subject to such agreement to
vote and proxy. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, such
shareholders are restricted from transferring or otherwise disposing of their
shares of Common Stock, unless Berkshire consents to the transfer. Berkshire
has consented to the transfer of certain of the shares held by certain parties
to the Voting Agreement, effective as of December 1, 2000. The transferred
shares continue to be subject to the agreement to vote and to the proxy granted
to Berkshire pursuant to the Voting Agreement. In addition, all of the
transferees, except for transferees of 10,661 shares of Common Stock, have
agreed to be bound by all the terms of the Voting Agreement.

(C)             Not applicable.

(D)             The Agreement provides that the directors of SII at the time of
the Merger will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and that the
officers of Shaw at the time of the Merger will be the officers of the Surviving
Corporation.

(E)             In connection with the Merger, each share of Common Stock (other
than shares held by Shaw, SII, or any of their respective subsidiaries, and
shares which have perfected appraisal rights) will be converted into the right
to receive the Merger Consideration. Following the Merger, it is expected that
Berkshire will own approximately 87.3% and that the Continuing Shareholders will
own in the aggregate approximately 12.7% of the outstanding capital stock of the
Surviving Corporation.

(F)             Not applicable.

(G)             In connection with the Merger, the articles of incorporation of
Shaw at the time of the Merger will be the articles of incorporation of the
Surviving Corporation but will be amended, immediately after filing the
certificate of merger, to conform to the articles of incorporation of SII. The
bylaws of SII at the time of the Merger will become the bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation.

<PAGE>   9
(H)-(I)        In connection with the Merger, the Common Stock will be delisted
from the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange and will become
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Exchange Act.

(J)            Not applicable.

               The descriptions in this Item 4 of the Merger Agreement, the
Contribution Agreement, and the Voting Agreement are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits
1 through 3 and incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF SHAW

(A)-(B)        Warren E. Buffett, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Berkshire, may be deemed to control Berkshire. SII, Berkshire and Mr.
Buffett thus may be considered to have beneficial ownership of the 40,877,986
shares of Common Stock which are owned (or which may be acquired pursuant to
options currently exercisable, or which become exercisable within the next 60
days) by shareholders of Shaw (other than Berkshire) who are parties to the
Contribution Agreement and/or the Voting Agreement (both such agreements are
described in Items 3 and 4, the answers to which are incorporated herein by
reference). As of the date hereof, 40,877,986 shares of Common Stock represent
approximately 32.88% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. None of
Berkshire, Mr. Buffett or SII has dispositive power over any of such shares.
Other than the portion of such shares (35,200,790 in total) which are subject to
the Voting Agreement, none of Berkshire, Mr. Buffett or SII has voting power
over any of such shares.

               Berkshire also owns 2,194,200 shares of Common Stock that it
acquired prior to entering into the agreements described herein. As of the date
hereof, 2,194,200 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 1.77% of the
outstanding shares of Common stock. Berkshire has both sole voting and sole
investment power with respect to such shares.

               Appendix A hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein,
sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each shareholder of
Shaw (other than Berkshire) who is a party to the Contribution Agreement and/or
the Voting Agreement or who has agreed to be bound by the Voting Agreement
(based on numbers provided by such shareholders), and information as to whether
each such shareholder has sole or shared voting and dispositive power over such
shares (based on information provided by such shareholders).

(C)      None of Berkshire, SII or Mr. Buffett has engaged in any transaction in
the Common Stock during the past 60 days. Based on information provided by the
shareholders (other than Berkshire) included on Appendix A, none of them has
effected any such transaction other than routine acquisitions within Shaw's
401(k) plan and except that (i) Spright D. Holland disposed of 1,600 shares of
Common Stock by gift on October 7, 2000 and (ii) that the following transfers
were effected as of November 30, 2000:

                  shares to Legacy Strata, LLC and transferred 961 shares to a
                  third party;

         4.       Legacy Strata, LLC acquired 6,309,656 shares as contributions
                  from holders of interests therein (including the 944,077 of

                  clause (1) above));

         5.       Club Development Associates, Inc. acquired 110,526 of the

                  (1) above);

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF SHAW

               As described in Item 4 (the answer to which is incorporated
herein by reference), Berkshire and the other members of the investor group
entered into the Voting Agreement. In connection with the irrevocable proxy
given to Berkshire under the Voting Agreement, Berkshire and Shaw also entered
into an investor voting agreement (the "Investor Voting Agreement"). Subject to
the terms and conditions thereof, Berkshire will vote the portion of the Shaw
shares which are subject to the Voting Agreement and are also being contributed
to SII by members of the investor group (approximately 10.8% of the outstanding
shares) in the same proportion as all of the other shares voting on the Merger
and the Merger Agreement vote on such matters. The foregoing discussion of the
Investor Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Investor Voting Agreement filed as Exhibit 4 and incorporated by reference
herein.

                  In addition to the provisions of the Contribution Agreement as
described in Item 4, the Contribution Agreement provides that the Continuing
Shareholders have certain rights to require Berkshire to purchase, and that
Berkshire has certain rights to require the Continuing Shareholders to sell to
it, their shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation for a formula
based price. The Contribution Agreement also restricts the ability of the
Continuing Shareholders to transfer their shares of Common Stock pending the
Merger and their shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation following
the Merger.

                  Other than these agreements and those others described in
Items 3 and 4 (the answers to which are incorporated herein by reference), to
the best knowledge of the filing persons, there are no other contracts,
agreements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the
persons or entities listed in Item 2 and between such persons or entities and
any person or entity with respect to any securities of Shaw, including but not
limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint
ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits,
division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
