This prospectus supplement is incorporated by reference into, and should be read in conjunction with, the prospectus, and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the prospectus, including any amendments or supplements to it.

Selling securityholders

 

We originally issued the notes in a private placement to UBS Securities LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (the “initial purchasers”) on November 10, 2004. The notes were resold by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the notes that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus are being offered by the selling securityholders, which includes their transferees, distributees, pledgees or donees or their successors.

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the selling securityholders and the principal amounts of notes beneficially owned by each selling securityholder that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling securityholders on or prior to June 15, 2005. The selling securityholders may offer all, some or none of the notes or the common stock into which the notes are convertible. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some portion of the notes or common stock, we cannot estimate the amount of the notes or the common stock that will be held by the selling securityholders upon termination of any of these sales. In addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their notes since the date on which they provided the information regarding their notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Thus, although a maximum aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 of notes and a maximum of 3,927,735 shares of common stock may be offered pursuant to this prospectus, the aggregate principal amount of notes offered hereby and number of shares of common stock offered hereby set forth below exceeds those maximum amounts. The percentage of notes outstanding beneficially owned by each selling securityholder is based on $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding.

 

The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes shown on the table below assumes conversion of the full amount of notes held by each selling securityholder at an initial conversion rate of 26.1849 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, after deduction of the payment in cash due pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares. See “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Payment upon Conversion.” This conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain events. Accordingly, the number of conversion shares may increase or decrease from time to time. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes shown in the table below also assumes that we would satisfy our conversion obligation entirely with common stock. However, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, we will satisfy in cash our conversion obligation with respect to the principal amount of the notes to be converted, with any remaining amount to be satisfied in shares of our common stock. Based on 29,307,032 shares of common stock outstanding on March 9, 2005, Fore Convertible Master Fund beneficially owns 1.78% and DBAG London beneficially owns 1.08% of our outstanding common stock. Following the offering, each of Fore Convertible Master Fund and DBAG London will beneficially own none of our outstanding common stock. Information concerning other selling securityholders will be set forth in prospectus supplements or, if appropriate, post-effective amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, from time to time, if required.
