To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the past five years, been convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer --------------------------------------------- Item 5 of the Schedule D is hereby amended as follows: (a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q, there were 59,302,014 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 8, 2001. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report direct holdings as follows: (i) BLUM L.P. and RCBA Inc. report holdings of 1,575,400 of the Common Stock on behalf of the limited partnerships for which BLUM L.P. serves as the general partner and BLUM L.P.'s investment advisory clients, which represents 2.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) RCBA GP reports holdings of 1,562,900 shares of the Common Stock on behalf of the limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 2.6% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iii) Blum GP reports holdings of 502,000 shares of the Common Stock on behalf of the limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 0.8% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iv) Mr. Blum reports the aggregate of these shares for a total of 3,640,300 shares of the Common Stock, which represents 6.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. In addition, because BLUM L.P. has voting and investment power with respect to 380,600 shares that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the accounts of its Value Opportunity Fund and Multi-Strategy Equity Fund, (collectively, "The Common Fund"), those shares are reported as beneficially owned by BLUM L.P. The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of managing investments for educational institutions. The principal administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 15 Old Danbury Road, Wilton, Connecticut 06897-0812. CUSIP NO. 871607107 SCHEDULE 13D Page 9 of 11 The Common Fund disclaims membership in a group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Reporting Persons. Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by BLUM L.P., RCBA GP, and Blum GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 4,020,900 shares of the Common Stock, which is 6.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of BLUM L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which BLUM L.P. has voting and investment power. As Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. Additionally, Mr. Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities over which RCBA GP and Blum GP have voting and investment power. Although Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors and executive officers of RCBA Inc., or managing members and members of RCBA GP or Blum GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., RCBA GP or Blum GP except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. (c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons purchased the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share ------ ---------- ------ ------------ BLUM L.P.'s limited partnership 8/23/01 42,500 44.11760 and investment advisory client 9/06/01 62,500 44.44200 accounts (including The 9/07/01 41,500 43.79850 Common Fund) 9/10/01 12,500 43.67600 9/20/01 22,000 37.37530 The limited partnership for 8/23/01 42,500 44.11760 which Blum GP serves as the 9/06/01 62,500 44.44200 general partner 9/07/01 41,500 43.79850 9/10/01 12,500 43.67600 9/19/01 25,000 38.00000 9/20/01 318,000 37.37530 (d) and (e) Not applicable.
