International Investments Limited ("CPII," and together with CPIHL, the "Reporting Persons") to further supplement and amend the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on February 22, 2000, as supplemented and amended by Amendment No. 1, dated March 22, 2001, Amendment No. 2, dated August 28, 2001, Amendment No. 3, dated March 4, 2002, Amendment No. 4, dated April 18, 2002, and Amendment No. 5, dated August 26, 2003 (the "Schedule 13D"). Items 4, 6, and 7 are hereby supplemented. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as provided in the Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 is supplemented as follows: On August 29, 2003, the Company filed a Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to a proposed offering (the "Offering") of up to 5,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, including up to 750,000 shares to cover over-allotments. A portion of the shares included in the Offering may come from selling stockholders, including the Reporting Persons, although the number of shares to be sold and the category of sellers will depend on the Offering price and market conditions at the time of sale. The underwriters in connection with the Offering have informed the Company that the Series A Preferred Stock will need to be converted to shares of the Company's common stock in conjunction with the Offering. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons and each of the remaining holders of Series A preferred stock have entered into a Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2003, pursuant to which each Series A Preferred share will be converted into ten shares of the Company's common stock effective as of the closing of the Offering. The Reporting Persons and the other converting stockholders will not be required to pay any consideration in connection with the conversion, but will receive accrued and unpaid dividends on their Series A Preferred shares through the closing date. The Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement will terminate if the closing of the Offering has not occurred by November 30, 2003 or the Offering is sooner terminated. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Item 6 is supplemented as follows: See Item 4 for a description of the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2003. Page 4 of 6 Item 7. Materials to Be Filed as Exhibits.
