On Wednesday June 23, 2004, following a special committee meeting held to consider the proposal, and through their respective counsel, the special committee informed SAC that it would not continue to recommend the Offer or the Merger if SAC amended the Offer or the Merger to eliminate the Majority of the Minority Condition.
