Item 5. Other Events.
On May 7, 2003, we issued 45,980,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, in a public offering. We sold the shares of common stock pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement and related Pricing Agreement, each dated as of May 1, 2003, by and among us, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Banc of America Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., as representatives of the underwriters. We received $476,306,820 in proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock after deducting underwriting discounts.
Also on May 7, 2003, we issued 20,000,000 8.25% Adjustable Conversion-Rate Equity Security Units (the Units) in a public offering. We sold the Units pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement and related Pricing Agreement, each dated as of May 1, 2003, by and among us, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Banc of America Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., as the underwriters. We received $485,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of the Units after deducting underwriting discounts. Each Unit has a stated amount of $25 and will initially consist of (a) a contract pursuant to which the holder agrees to purchase, for $25, shares of our common stock on May 15, 2006 and (b) a 1/40, or 2.5%, ownership interest in a 6.00% senior note issued by us due May 15, 2008 with a principal amount of $1,000. The senior notes were issued under a Senior Debt Indenture, which we entered into with JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee, on March 9, 2001, and a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, which we entered into with JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee, on May 7, 2003.
