On June 18, 2002, we issued $250,000,000 of 7.375% senior debentures in a public offering. We sold the senior debentures pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement and related Pricing Agreement, each dated as of June 13, 2002, by and among us, Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and certain other underwriters set forth on Schedule I of the Pricing Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement together with the Pricing Agreement is included in this report as Exhibit 1. We received $244,635,000 in proceeds from the sale of the senior debentures.
