INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
AMENDMENT OF PRIOR REGISTRATION STATEMENT
The Registrant's Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 22, 1998 (Registration No. 333-69503) (the "1998 Registration Statement") is hereby amended to provide that all the shares of common stock previously registered for issuance under the Registrant's Employees' Stock Purchase Program (the "Program") on the 1998 Registration Statement may now be issued under the Registrant's 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of that plan. Section 4 of the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that any shares not issued under the Program as of June 30, 2002, up to an aggregate maximum of 956,699 shares, will no longer be available for grant and issuance under the Program but will be available for issuance under the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
7,855 shares were originally registered for issuance under the Program on the 1998 Registration Statement. After adjustment for the Registrant's three-for-two stock split effective as of May 15, 2001, the number of shares registered for issuance under the Program on the 1998 Registration Statement automatically increased to 11,782 shares, all of which may now be issued under the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The contents of the 1998 Registration Statement referred to above are otherwise incorporated by reference into this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to such Registration Statement, except as described herein. Required consents and signatures are included in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
