Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The funds for the purchases of Common Stock made by the Fund
on the open market were supplied from Dutch public sector pensioners'
contributions to the Fund.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Fund from time to time intends to review its investment in
the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and
industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the
Issuer's securities in particular, as well as other developments and other
investment opportunities. Based on such review, the Fund will take such actions
in the future as the Fund may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances
existing from time to time. If the Fund believes that further investment in the
Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the Issuer's
securities or otherwise, it may acquire additional securities of the Issuer
either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly,
depending on market and other factors, the Fund may determine to dispose of some
or all of the Common Stock currently owned by the Fund or otherwise acquired by
the Fund either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

structure, (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other or
instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the
