On March 31, 2001, the Registrant completed its holding company
reorganization. In the reorganization, the Registrant merged into Waste
Industries MergeCo, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Holdings, Inc., a
new corporation formed by the Registrant for the purpose of becoming the holding
company for the Registrant. Pursuant to the reorganization, each share of the
Registrant's common stock was automatically converted into one share of Waste
Holdings common stock. Waste Holdings shares began trading on Nasdaq on April 2,
2001 under the symbol "WWIN", the same symbol that the shares of the Registrant
traded under. Waste Holdings will not send new stock certificates to the
Registrant's shareholders. Shareholders will retain their certificates in the
Registrant, which will represent an equivalent number of shares of Waste
Holdings. New certificates will be distributed only as shares are traded or new
shares are issued.
Waste Industries, Inc. is a vertically integrated solid waste services
company that provides collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services to
commercial, industrial and residential customer locations in the states of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
