(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONS at a conversion rate of 7.7062 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the LYONS. However, this conversion rate will be subject to adjustment as described under "Description of LYONS--Conversion Rights." As a result, the amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs may increase or decrease in the future. (2) Calculated based on 63,828,321 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 30, 2001. In calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding that number of shares of common stock issuable 5 upon conversion of all of a particular holder's LYONS. However, we did not assume the conversion of any other holder's LYONS. (3) Information about other selling security holders will be set forth in prospectus supplements, if required. (4) Assumes that the holders of LYONS, or any future transferees, pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such holder of LYONS, do not beneficially own any common stock other than the common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONS at the initial conversion rate. We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us as of January 15, 2002, by the selling security holders named in the table. The selling security holders listed in the above table may have sold or transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of their LYONS since the date on which the information is presented in the above table. Information about the selling security holders may change over time. Any changed information supplied to us will be set forth in future prospectus supplements. Because the selling security holders may offer all or some of their LYONS or the underlying common stock from time to time, we cannot estimate the amount of the LYONS or the underlying common stock that will be held by the selling security holders upon the termination of any particular offering. See "Plan of Distribution." ------------------------ INVESTING IN THE LYONS INVOLVES RISKS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 9 OF THE PROSPECTUS. ------------------------ NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. ------------------------ The date of this prospectus supplement is January 16, 2002. -TM-Trademark of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. 6
