Item 5: Other Events By a Final Order entered on May 29, 2002, a United States District Court Judge has dismissed the Consolidated Amended Complaint in the purported securities class action lawsuit that has been pending in the Western District of Virginia against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The Final Order was accompanied by a Memorandum Opinion granting defendants' motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim. In the Memorandum Opinion, the Court found that plaintiffs had not pleaded facts raising a strong inference that any disclosure challenged was made with fraudulent intent or was materially misleading or omissive. The claims made in the Consolidated Amended Complaint were discussed under "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2002.

SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
