Information concerning the selling security holder listed above is based upon information provided to us by the selling security holder as of February 17, 2004. Information about the selling security holder may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in prospectus supplements and/or amendments. The selling security holder listed in the table above may have sold or transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, some or all of its notes since the date on which the information in the table is presented. In addition, the per share conversion price and therefore the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the notes are subject to adjustment. See “Description of the Notes” on page 26 of the prospectus. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of notes and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption may increase or decrease.

 

Investing in our common stock or the notes involves a high degree of risk. Please carefully consider the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of the prospectus, as well as the section entitled “Factors That May Affect Future Results” included in our recent quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
