(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's debentures at a
conversion rate of 41.58 shares of CD common stock per $1,000
principal amount of the debentures. This conversion rate is
subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of
Debentures--Conversion Rights". As a result, the number of shares
of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures may
increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares of CD
common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of the
debentures by us at the option of the holder.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using
1,037,692,184 shares of CD common stock outstanding as of April
30, 2002. 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 debentures, but we did not
assume conversion of any other holder's debentures. Does not
include shares of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon
purchase of the debentures by us at the option of the holder.
Investing in the debentures or shares of CD common stock involves
risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 14
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 prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
