* Less than one percent (1%).
(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's debentures at a
conversion rate of 41.58 shares of CD common stock per $1,000
principal amount of the debentures. This conversion rate is
subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of
Debentures--Conversion Rights". As a result, the number of shares
of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures may
increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares of CD
common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of the
debentures by us at the option of the holder.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using
982,020,341 shares of CD common stock outstanding as of March 15,
2002. 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 debentures, but we did not assume
conversion of any other holder's debentures. Does not include shares
of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of the
debentures by us at the option of the holder.
Investing in the debentures or shares of CD common stock involves
risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 14 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. Any
