The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 3700 Buffalo Speedway, Suite 960, Houston, Texas 77098. Other than as set forth herein, there has been no material change in the information set forth in Items 1 though 7 of Schedule 13D. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND The second paragraph of Item 2 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: On July 6, 2001, Societe Generale S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of France ("SG"), acquired approximately 51% of the equity securities of TCWG and 80% of the voting rights of TCWG pursuant to an Amended and Restated Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization, dated as of April 11, 2001, among TCWG, SG, Societe Generale Asset Management, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of France, Marc I. Stern as the Stockholders' Representative, the holders of TCWG common stock party thereto, and the holders of TCWG phantom stock party thereto. As a result of the acquisition by SG, as of July 6, 2001 Robert A. Day no longer will be deemed to control TCWG or share voting or dispositive power with TCWG as to its equity holdings, and has thus ceased to be a beneficial owner of any securities of and is no longer a Reporting Person with respect to the Issuer. The Reporting Persons, together with TCWG's other direct and indirect subsidiaries, collectively constitute The TCW Group, Inc. business unit (the "TCW Business Unit"). The TCW Business Unit is primarily engaged in the provision of investment management services. As of July 6, 2001, the ultimate parent company of TCWG is SG. The principal business of SG is acting as a holding company for a global financial services group, which includes certain distinct specialized business units that are independently operated, including the TCW Business Unit. SG, for purposes of the federal securities laws, may be deemed ultimately to control TCWG and the TCW Business Unit. SG, its executive officers and directors, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including all of its business units except the TCW Business Unit), may beneficially own additional securities of the Issuer (the "Shares") and such Shares are not reported in this statement. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), and due to the separate management and independent operation of its business units, SG disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by SG and any of SG's other business units. 5 ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) AGGREGATE AMOUNT BENEFICIALLY OWNED AND PERCENT OF CLASS: See Item 2. (e) DATE ON WHICH THE REPORTING PERSON CEASED TO BE A BENEFICIAL OWNER OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT FO THE CLASS OF SECURITIES: See item 2. 6 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct.
