Item 5.   Other Events.

         On May 28, 2002, we issued a press release announcing that we intend to raise up to $350 million in aggregate principal amount of our Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The initial purchaser of the Notes will have the option to purchase up to an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The sale of the Notes is expected to close on or about June 4, 2002. We expect to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes:

  •   to fund the purchase of $125 million of shares of our Class A common stock sold short by purchasers of the Notes concurrently with their purchase of the Notes;
 
  •   for future acquisitions; and
 
  •   for general corporate purposes.

         A copy of the press release appears as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
