(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) Effective July 6, 2001, Van Waters & Rogers, Inc. Retirement Plan
changed its name to Vopak USA, Inc. Retirement Plan.
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.
