Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3 hereto, is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof: In October 1998, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice commenced a civil antitrust action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Case No. 98-74611) against Northwest and the Issuer challenging Northwest's acquisition of its ownership stake in the Issuer. As has been reported in the press, the U.S. District Court temporarily delayed the start of the trial. The Issuer has previously indicated publicly that it seeks to acquire such stake from Northwest. Northwest during such period of delay engaged, and at anytime hereafter may engage, in discussions concerning the disposition of its stake in the Issuer back to the Issuer or as otherwise permitted under the agreements between Northwest and the Issuer. Except as described above, and except as described in Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, Northwest has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters described in paragraphs (a) to (j) under Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
