- ------------------------ * Less than one percent (1%). (1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's CODES at a conversion rate of 33.40 shares of CD common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the CODES. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of the CODES--Conversion Rights". As a result, the number of shares of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the CODES may increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of CODES by us at the option of the holder. (2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using 857,074,916 shares of CD common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2001. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder's CODES, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder's CODES. Does not include shares of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of CODES by us at the option of the holder. (3) Allstate Insurance Company is the parent company of Allstate Life Insurance Company. Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company collectively hold 1.03% of the outstanding CODES. (4) Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in prospectus supplements, if required. (5) Assumes that any other holders of CODES, or any future pledgees, donees, assignees, transferees or successors of or from any other such holders of CODES, do not beneficially own any shares of CD common stock other than the CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the CODES at the initial conversion rate. Investing in the CODES or shares of CD common stock involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 5 of the prospectus. NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE.
