Responding to media speculation about Registrant's liquidity, Registrant
reiterated that the principal terms and conditions for refinancing a
portion of the revolver and extending its maturity beyond October 2002
have been distributed to the 57 lenders in the revolver. Following the
approval from these lenders as well as the negotiation and execution of
the definitive agreements, the refinancing is expected to be completed no
later than the end of June.

Registrant today also reported a current worldwide cash balance of $4.7
billion.
