Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 22, 2003

 

ERRATUM

 

In the “Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year” table on page 13 of the proxy statement, the expiration date for each of the stock option grants set forth in the table is incorrectly stated as 9/12/02. As indicated in footnote 1 to the table, these options expire ten years from the grant date. Therefore, the correct expiration date is 9/12/12.
