Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.
            -------------------------

         On June 29, 2005, we executed a definitive agreement to acquire
privately-held The Holmes Group, Inc. A copy of the press release announcing
such agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

         After completion of the transaction, we estimate that our annualized
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, would have been
approximately $400 million. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 is a reconciliation
of such adjusted EBITDA, which is not a generally accepted accounting principle
("GAAP") financial measure, to net income for our fiscal year ended December 31,
2004.

         The information in this Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K and Exhibits 99.1
and 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") nor shall
they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act
of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in any such filing.
