*   Less than one percent (1%).

(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's CODES at a conversion rate of
    33.40 shares of CD common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of
    the CODES. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as
    described under "Description of the CODES--Conversion Rights". As a result,
    the number of shares of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the
    CODES may increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares of CD
    common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of CODES by us at the
    option of the holder.

(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using 857,074,916
    shares of CD common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2001. In calculating
    this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares
    of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder's CODES,
    but we did not assume conversion of any other holder's CODES. Does not
    include shares of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of
    CODES by us at the option of the holder.

(3) The entity is either an investment company or a portfolio of an investment
    company registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
    amended, or a private investment account advised by Fidelity Management &
    Research Company ("FMR Co."). FMR Co. is a Massachusetts corporation and an
    investment advisor registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisors
    Act of 1940, as amended, and provides investment advisory services to each
    of such Fidelity entities identified above, and to other registered
    investment companies and to certain other funds which are generally offered
    to a limited group of investors. FMR Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR
    Corp., a Massachusetts corporation.

(4) Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in
    prospectus supplements, if required.

(5) Assumes that any other holders of CODES, or any future pledgees, donees,
    assignees, transferees or successors of or from any other such holders of
    CODES, do not beneficially own any shares of CD common stock other than the
    CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the CODES at the initial
    conversion rate.

    Investing in the CODES or shares of CD common stock involves risks that are
described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 5 of the prospectus.

    NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS
