(Attach extra sheets if needed.) As previously anticipated and reported, we are unable to file our quarterly report on Form 10-Q with respect to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002 within the prescribed time period due to our inability to timely access adequate financial information about certain of our German subsidiaries, caused by the temporary administrator appointed by the German Municipal Court Freiburg in relation to the filing earlier this year by certain managing directors of the German subsidiaries for the institution of preliminary insolvency proceedings. After receiving the requisite consents from our noteholders, on July 26, 2002, we amended the indentures relating to each of our 9.5% Senior Notes due 2005 (CUSIP No. 92326YAD1), 11% Senior Notes due 2007 (CUSIP No. 92326YAF6) and 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (CUSIP No. 92326YAH2) to, among other things, allow us to delay the filing of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 to not later than October 15, 2002.
