You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the prospectus, and this prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the prospectus. The table of selling securityholders contained in the prospectus is hereby amended to add the entity who is named below as a selling securityholder: Aggregate Number of Principal Amount Shares of CD Percentage of at Maturity of Percentage of Common Stock Shares of CD Debentures That Debentures That May Common Stock Name May Be Sold Outstanding Be Sold(1) Outstanding(2) ---- ----------- ----------- ---------- -------------- The Philanthropic Pension................... $170,000 * 7,069 * ----------------- * 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 1,036,488,745 shares of CD common stock outstanding as of September 30, 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.
