Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 8, 2005, we entered into an agreement with a holder of $40.0 million in principal amount of our 3.5% Convertible Notes due 2033 to convert such Notes into 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture dated as of September 16, 2003 between us and Wilmington Trust Company. As we have previously reported, the Notes, which we issued initially in 2003 and which were not convertible at that time, are currently convertible pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. In consideration for such conversion, we made a cash payment of approximately $4.4 million to the holder. Our issuance of the shares of common stock in this transaction was made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The conversion occurred on June 10, 2005.
