Item 5. Other Events
The Company today has issued a supplement to its proxy statement to stockholders
entitled to vote at the annual meeting scheduled for April 18, 2002 to indicate
that, because of recent events involving Arthur Andersen, the Company's
independent public accountants, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is
reconsidering whether to appoint Arthur Andersen as the Company's independent
public accountants for 2002.
This supplement to the proxy statement accordingly indicates that the Board of
Directors has removed item 5, the proposal to approve appointment of independent
public accountants, from the agenda for the annual meeting of stockholders and
that no stockholder votes are required or requested with respect to the approval
of Arthur Andersen as the Company's independent public accountants for the 2002
fiscal year. Stockholders who have previously submitted a proxy card do not need
to vote again and any votes regarding the item pertaining to approval of
independent public accountants will be disregarded. The Company does not intend
to distribute new proxy cards.
