Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The funds for the purchases of Common Stock made by the Fund on the
open market were supplied from Dutch public sector pensioners' contributions to

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Fund from time to time intends to review its investment in the
Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and
industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the
Issuer's securities in particular, as well as other developments and other
investment opportunities. Based on such review, the Fund will take such actions
in the future as the Fund may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances
existing from time to time. If the Fund believes that further investment in the
Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the Issuer's
securities or otherwise, it may acquire additional securities of the Issuer
either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly,
depending on market and other factors, the Fund may determine to dispose of some
or all of the Common Stock currently owned by the Fund or otherwise acquired by
the Fund either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
Except as set forth above, the Fund has not currently formulated any
definitive plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the
acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate
transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Issuer, (e) any material change in the
4
Issuer's capitalization or dividend policy, (f) any other material change in the
Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer's charter
or bylaws or other or instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a
class of the Issuer's securities to be deregistered or delisted, (i) a class of
equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of
registration or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) The Fund is the sole beneficial owner of 6,154,383 shares of
Common Stock representing 3.61% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on the number of

Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2000.
(b) The Fund has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or
