Material Changes
Two directors, Robert B. Haas and Douglas D. Wheat, resigned effective November 3, 2004. This action was taken to comply with a change in NYSE corporate governance standards (Section 303A.02), which expanded the look-back period for director independence determinations from one year to three years.
