On January 30, 2003, Tracinda completed the sale of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering. Tracinda may sell an additional 3,750,000 shares in the event of exercise by the underwriter of an over-allotment option. Tracinda sold these shares because it is eligible for a substantial federal income tax refund if it incurs a capital loss prior to the end of its current fiscal year, January 31, 2003.
 
2.    Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:
