(e) Mr. Standish has not, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding or a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. (f) Mr. Standish is an American citizen. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. Of the 4,645,807 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Standish, (i) 16,000 shares are issuable to him upon exercise of stock options at $15 per share, and (ii) the balance are issuable upon conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company ("Class B Common Stock"). The shares of Class B Common Stock which are currently beneficially held by Mr. Standish have either been so held by Mr. Standish or members of his family since their issuance in 1987 in exchange for shares of the predecessor of the Company, or acquired in the form of stock dividends on such shares. Mr. Standish beneficially held such predecessor shares for several years prior to such exchange. These holdings reflect (1) the February 12, 2002 conversion to Class A, and subsequent sale, of 128,000 Class B shares held by the trust under the will of John C. Standish, and (2) the conversion to Class A, and subsequent sale, of Class B shares held by J. S. Standish Company, as follows: (a) 128,900 shares during the period August 1, 2002 to August 21, 2002, (b) 300,000 shares on January 15, 2003, and (c) 25,000 shares on January 16, 2003. Page 3 of 6 Pages ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. During 2002, J. S. Standish Company and the Standish Delta Trust entered into a written plan covering a proposed sale of up to 2.7 million shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Plan is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to the terms of the 10b5-1 Plan, entered into with Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, up to 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock may be sold during the period from August 1, 2002 through December 31, 2003, subject to such price, volume, timing and other provisions as specified in the Plan. Shares of Class B Common Stock sold under the Plan will automatically be converted to shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the sale. Since the 10b5-1 Plan was adopted, J. S. Standish Company has converted and sold 453,900 shares of Class B Common Stock. In electing directors of the Company, the Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share while the Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, so that Mr. Standish, as a result of his current ownership of Class B Common Stock, now holds voting control of the Company.
