ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
On October 19, 2000, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire") and
SII Acquisition, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a corporation which will be owned by an
investor group comprised of Berkshire and Robert E. Shaw, certain of Mr. Shaw's
family members and family-related entities, Julian D. Saul, through two family
trusts, and certain directors and other members of management of the Issuer
(together, excluding Berkshire, the "Continuing Shareholders"). Under the terms
of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, and the
Issuer will continue in existence as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving
Corporation"). In the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than
those shares contributed by Berkshire and the Continuing Shareholders to Merger
Sub pursuant to the Contribution Agreement described below and those held by
dissenting shareholders) will be converted into the right to receive $19.00 in
cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration").
In connection with the Merger Agreement and as contemplated by the
terms thereof, the Continuing Shareholders entered into a contribution and
participation agreement, dated October 19, 2000 (the "Contribution Agreement"),
with Merger Sub and Berkshire. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Berkshire
will contribute 2,194,200 shares of Common Stock and $2,016,686,315 in cash and
the Continuing Shareholders will contribute an aggregate amount of 15,802,638
shares of Common Stock to Merger Sub. In exchange for such contributions,
Berkshire and the Continuing Shareholders will receive 108,335,585 and
15,802,638 shares, respectively, of Merger Sub common stock which, in the
Merger, will be converted into shares of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation. The Contribution Agreement, among other things, restricts the
ability of the Continuing Shareholders to freely transfer the shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer held by them pending the Merger and the shares of Common
Stock of the Surviving Corporation held by them following the Merger, and grants
the Continuing Shareholders certain rights to sell, and to Berkshire certain
rights to cause Continuing Shareholders to sell, their shares in connection with
sales of stock of the Surviving Corporation held by Berkshire. The Contribution
Agreement also establishes certain rights of the Continuing Shareholders to
require Berkshire to purchase, and certain rights of the Berkshire to require
the Continuing Shareholders to sell to it, their shares of common stock of the
Surviving Corporation at a formula price based price.
In addition, in connection with and as contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, on October 19, 2000, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into a
voting agreement with Berkshire (as amended and restated as of October 30, 2000,
the "Voting Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the
Reporting Persons parties thereto are required to vote the 35,201,590 shares of
Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Merger and against any third party
proposal, and each of such Reporting Persons has granted Berkshire an
irrevocable proxy to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by such Reporting
Person which are subject to the Voting Agreement at the special meeting of
shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Merger and any other meeting
of shareholders of the Issuer at which the Merger is considered. In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons parties to
it are restricted from transferring or otherwise disposing of the shares of
Common Stock which are subject to the Voting Agreement.

The foregoing discussion of the Merger Agreement, the Contribution
Agreement, and the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits to this Statement and are
incorporated by reference herein.
Although the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be have formed a
"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the
disclosure set forth in this Statement shall not be construed as an admission
that such persons have in fact formed such a "group." Each of the Reporting
Persons does not have the power to direct the votes or dispose of the shares of
Common Stock owned by the other Reporting Persons and, therefore, each hereby
expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock other
than those listed on the cover page with respect to such person.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
(a)-(b) The information set forth in Item 3 above and Item 5 and 6 below is
incorporated herein by reference. The purpose of the Merger is to

permit Berkshire and the Continuing Shareholders to acquire the Issuer,
and to terminate the status of Issuer as a company with publicly traded
equity securities. The transaction has been structured as a cash merger
in order to provide the public shareholders of the Issuer with cash for
all of their shares and to provide an orderly transfer of ownership of
the Issuer.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) From and after the effective time of the Merger, the officers of the
Issuer will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the
earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective
successors are duly appointed or elected. The directors of Merger Sub
will become the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the
earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective
successors are duly appointed or elected.
(e) In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
each share of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding at the time of the
Merger (other than the shares of Common Stock to be held at that time
by Merger Sub and those held by dissenting shareholders) will be
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Following
completion of the Merger, it is expected that Berkshire will own
approximately 87.3% and the Continuing Shareholders will own in the
aggregate approximately 12.7% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) From and after the effective time of the Merger, the articles of
incorporation of the Issuer in effect at the effective time will be the
articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, but shall be
amended, immediately after filing the Certificate of Merger, to conform
to the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub and shall be the
articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter
changed or amended. The bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect at the
effective time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until
thereafter changed or amended
Page 32 of 49
<PAGE> 33
(h)-(i) Upon the effective time of the Merger, it is expected that 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.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

reference. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially

Contribution Agreement, Berkshire has disclosed that it beneficially
owns 2,194,200 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.77% of the issued
and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.
(c) None of the Reporting Persons or any other person named in response to
Item 2 effected any transaction in the Common Stock of the Issuer other
than routine acquisitions within the Issuer's 401(k) plan and except
that Spright D. Holland disposed of 1,600 shares of Common Stock by
gift on October 7, 2000.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 above is incorporated herein
by reference. To induce Berkshire and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger
Agreement, the certain of the Reporting Persons entered into the Voting
Agreement.
In connection with the irrevocable proxy given to Berkshire under the
Voting Agreement, Berkshire has entered into an investor voting agreement with
the Issuer (the "Investor Voting Agreement") under which Berkshire has agreed to
vote an aggregate of 13,433,261 shares of Common Stock, which are subject to
both the Voting Agreement and the Contribution Agreement, in the same proportion
as the other shares of Common Stock voting on the approval of the merger and the
Merger Agreement are voted 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 an
Exhibit to this Statement, and is incorporated by reference herein.
