Item 5. Other Events

On May 23, 2003, the Company issued a press release to announce that the four-month standstill agreement between the Company and Gotham Partners and affiliated funds has terminated in accordance with its terms. The Special Committee formed by the Company’s Board of Directors in response to Gotham Partners’ decision to sell its ownership interest in the Company, completed its exploration of strategic alternatives available to the Company in the context of Gotham Partners’ decision. Based upon its own analysis and the advice of The Blackstone Group, the Special Committee concluded, and recommended to the Board of Directors, that the alternative of a sale of the Company is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at this time, and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the Company remain independent and publicly held. The Board approved the recommendation of the Special Committee and authorized the Special Committee to act on behalf of the Company, in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, in connection with the possible disposition by Gotham Partners and its affiliated funds of their ownership interests in the Company. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
