(1) On November 16, 2000, we issued $1,480.0 million initial aggregate principal amount of zero-coupon unsubordinated convertible notes, due 2010, for net proceeds of $1,457.8 million. On September 22, 1999, we completed an equity offering of 8,970,000 shares of capital stock at $24.88 per share (adjusted for the 3-for-1 stock split) for net proceeds of $216.8 million. On September 22, 1999, we also completed a debt offering of $720.9 million initial aggregate principal amount of zero-coupon convertible Liquid Yield Option™ Notes, due 2009, for net proceeds of $708.3 million. On June 10, 1998, we completed an equity offering of 18,000,000 shares of capital stock at $12.03 per share (adjusted for the 2-for-1 stock split in June 1999 and 3-for-1 stock split in May 2000) for net proceeds of $208.8 million. On June 10, 1998, we also completed a debt offering of $431.7 million initial aggregate principal amount of zero-coupon convertible Liquid Yield Option™ Notes (LYONs), due 2008, for net proceeds of $421.8 million. On April 27, 2001, we issued a redemption notice for the remaining outstanding LYONs, due 2008, which were redeemed and converted into common shares in May and June 2001; the residual aggregate princi-pal amount converted into common shares was $51.7 million. In 2001, we repurchased 9,400,000 common shares for $233.3 million and we have reflected these purchases at cost as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. The repurchased shares have been desig-nated to fund our most recent employee stock option plan.

(2) Other income and expenses includes, among other things, funds received through gov-ernment agencies for research and development expenses, the cost of new plant start-ups, foreign currency gains and losses, gains on sales of marketable securities, the costs of certain activities relating to intellectual property and goodwill amortization. Our reported research and development expenses do not include design center, process engineering, preproduction or industrialization costs.

(3) All share information has been adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split effected in June 1999 and the 3-for-1 stock split effected in May 2000. See Notes 2.10, 2.20 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4) For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income before income taxes and minority interests, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expenses.

(5) Working capital is calculated as current assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and mar-ketable securities) less current liabilities (excluding bank overdrafts and current portion of long-term debt).

(6) Capital stock consists of common stock and capital surplus.

(7) Capital expenditures are net of certain funds received through government agencies, the effect of which is to decrease depreciation.
