Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In November 2004, we submitted an offer of settlement of the previously announced investigation by the
Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Staff of the Commission. The Staff
has agreed to recommend the offer of settlement to the Commission. If approved by the Commission, the
proposed settlement, under which we would neither admit nor deny the allegations of a Complaint, would
fully resolve all claims relating to the investigation that commenced in December 2001. Pursuant to the offer
of settlement, we would pay a civil penalty of $7.5 million, which has been accrued in the accompanying
financial statements, and would be enjoined from future violations of the federal securities laws.
We are also involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of our business, which in management’s
opinion will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
