        required regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of certain
        other conditions as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. The
        foregoing summary of the Merger is qualified in its entirety by
        reference to the copy of the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 1 to
        this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

        As an inducement for ACT to enter into the Merger Agreement and in
        consideration thereof, the Reporting Person and certain other
        stockholders of CMC (the "Stockholders") entered into Voting Agreements
        with ACT, dated as of May 10, 1999. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements,
        the Stockholders agreed to vote all of the shares of CMC capital stock
        owned by them (i) in favor of approval and adoption of the Merger
        Agreement and the Merger and any matter that could reasonably be
        expected to facilitate the Merger and (ii) against approval of any
        proposal made in opposition to or competition with consummation of the
        Merger. In addition, each Stockholder has, by executing a Voting
        Agreement, agreed to execute and deliver to ACT within five days of
        ACT's written request therefor a valid and binding irrevocable proxy
        granting ACT or its designees the authority to vote their Shares of CMC
        capital stock in accordance with the preceding sentence. The covenants
        to vote the Shares and grant a proxy terminate upon such date and time
        as the Merger shall become effective, and the Voting Agreements
        terminate in all respects upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

        The purpose of the transactions under the Voting Agreements are to
        enable CMC and ACT to consummate the transactions contemplated under the
        Merger Agreement.

        (c)     Not applicable.

        (d)     It is anticipated that upon consummation of the Merger, the
        directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the current directors of
        Merger Sub. It is anticipated that the initial officers of the Surviving
        Corporation shall be the officers of Merger Sub, until their respective
        successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

        (e)     Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 3 above,
        not applicable.

        (f)     Not applicable.

        (g)     Upon consummation of the Merger, the Certificate of
        Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the
        Merger, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving
        Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law and
        such Certificate of Incorporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the
        Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger,
        shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter
        amended.
