  1.   The fourth full paragraph on page 17 is amended by replacing “which was prepared only for the purposes of negotiation” with “which was prepared for presentation to Citigroup and Lehman Brothers by Goldman Sachs, at the instructions and under the supervision of the Special Committee and with significant input from the Special Committee, only for purposes of the negotiating meeting between the two sets of financial advisors on September 28, 2004” in the first sentence thereof.
 
  2.   The fourth full paragraph on page 37 is amended by adding the following after “in June 2004” in the first sentence thereof:
 
      “which commitment is part of the $1.25 billion facility that is described below under “Source and Amount of Funds” on pages 76 and 77 and that Cox is now contemplating drawing upon and amending in connection with this transaction”
 
  3.   The fourth full paragraph on page 37 is amended by adding the following after “in June 2004” in the second sentence thereof:
 
      “which commitment is part of the $1.1 billion facility that is described below under “Source and Amount of Funds” on pages 74 and 75 and that Enterprises is now contemplating drawing upon and amending in connection with this transaction”
 
  4.   The caption to the section currently entitled “Position of Enterprises and Holdings Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger” on page 38 (which was amended in Amendment No. 4 to Schedule TO) is further amended by replacing “Enterprises, Holdings and CEI-M” with “Enterprises, Holdings, CEI-M and DNS.” In addition, the first full paragraph on page 38 is amended by replacing “Enterprises, Holdings and CEI-M” with “Enterprises, Holdings, CEI-M and DNS” in the first and third line thereof, and the first paragraph on page 39 is amended by replacing “Enterprises, Holdings and CEI-M” with “Enterprises, Holdings, CEI-M and DNS” in the first and second lines thereof.
 
  5.   The caption to the section currently entitled “Certain Information Concerning Cox, Enterprises, Holdings and CEI-M” on page 73 (which was amended in Amendment No. 4 to Schedule TO) is further amended by replacing “Cox, Enterprises, Holdings and CEI-M” with “Cox, Enterprises, Holdings, CEI-M and DNS.”

      “The Special Committee also did not consider Cox’s book value. The Special Committee did not believe book value to be material to its consideration of the offer and the merger because it did not view book value as a meaningful measure of Cox’s value relative to other factors considered by the Special Committee, such as public market valuation or earnings and cash flow.”
