                  To the knowledge of the Fund, during the last five years,
neither the Fund nor any of its executive officers or directors has been (i)
convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

                  The funds for the purchases of Common Stock made by the Fund
on the open market were supplied from Dutch public sector pensioners'
contributions to the Fund.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

                  The Fund from time to time intends to review its investment in
the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and
industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the
Issuer's securities in particular, as well as other developments and other
investment opportunities. Based on such review, the Fund will take such actions
in the future as the Fund may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances
existing from time to time. If the Fund believes that further investment in the
Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the Issuer's
securities or otherwise, it may acquire additional securities of the Issuer
either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly,
depending on market and other factors, the Fund may determine to dispose of some
or all of the Common Stock currently owned by the Fund or otherwise acquired by
the Fund either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

                  Except as set forth above, the Fund has not currently
formulated any definitive plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:
(a) the acquisition by any person of

                                       5


additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the
Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer or any
of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets
of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of
directors or management of the Issuer, (e) any material change in the Issuer's
capitalization or dividend policy, (f) any other material change in the Issuer's
business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or
bylaws or other or instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a
class of the Issuer's securities to be deregistered or delisted, (i) a class of
equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of
registration or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                  (a) The Fund is the sole beneficial owner of 16,951,135 shares
of Common Stock representing 6.40% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on the number
of shares of Common Stock disclosed as outstanding by the Issuer in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 22, 2002.

                  (b) The Fund has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote
