Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 is amended by adding the following paragraph:
The Reporting Person will use shares of its Class A common stock as consideration for the common stock of Issuer to be acquired in the exchange offer and merger described in Item 4.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
On October 4, 2003, the Reporting Person submitted a letter (the "Proposal Letter") to the independent members of the board of directors of the Issuer setting forth the Reporting Person's proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Issuer's common stock not owned by the Reporting Person or its subsidiaries in exchange for 9.0 shares of the Reporting Person's Class A common stock, subject to customary conditions. On October 6, 2003, the Reporting Person issued a press release (the "Press Release"), publicly announcing the commencement of the tender offer. If, upon completion of the tender offer, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 90% of more of the Issuer's outstanding capital stock, the Reporting Person intends to effect, in compliance with Delaware law, a "short-form" merger of the Issuer with a subsidiary of the Reporting Person.
A copy of the Proposal Letter and Press Release are included as exhibits as is the Schedule TO Tender Offer Statement of the Reporting Person's wholly-owned subsidiary, Europe Acquisition, Inc, filed with the Commission on October 6, 2003, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the exchange offer and merger is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Proposal Letter, Press Release and Schedule TO.
