  Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
  
       In furtherance of our efforts to complete our proposed
  acquisition of GC Companies, Inc., on February 27, 2002, we, together
  with GC Companies and the official committee of unsecured creditors in
  the Chapter 11 cases of GC Companies and its chapter 11 debtor
  affiliated entities, entered into a support agreement with The Bank of
  Nova Scotia wherein the parties conditionally agreed to support a
  modification to the GC Companies' plan of reorganization.  With the
  execution of this agreement, we now have obtained support agreements
  from the most significant institutional creditors of GC Companies. On
  March 1, 2002, GC Companies and the official committee of unsecured
  creditors filed a modified first amended joint plan of reorganization
  reflecting, among other matters, the modifications referred to in the
  Bank of Nova Scotia support agreement and a support agreement with
  Fleet National Bank and Bank of America referred to below that was
  entered into on February 14, 2002.  In addition, on March 1, 2002,
  Fleet National Bank notified us of its election to accept payment
  under the plan of reorganization of its domestic bank claims in the
  form of our senior subordinated notes.
  
       As a result of these and other developments, we currently
  estimate that the purchase price for GC Companies will be $174.8 million
  (net of $6.5 million from the committed sale of GC Companies'
  portfolio of venture capital investments), consisting of $74.4 million
  of cash, $70 million  of our senior subordinated notes and $30.4
  million of our common stock, which would represent approximately
  2.7 million shares at a price of  $11.24 per share  (the last
  reported sale price of our common stock on March 4, 2002).
  
       The ultimate amount that we will distribute to creditors of GC
  Companies is not presently determinable with certainty and will
  depend, among other things, upon:
  
  a final determination of allowed claims that will be made by the
  bankruptcy court;
  
  the form of consideration chosen by certain creditors to whom
  alternatives are available;
  
  the form of recovery and consideration we choose to issue to
  certain creditors;
  
  the amount of cash otherwise available to GC Companies at the
  effective date of the plan of reorganization; and
  
  the length of time it takes to consummate the transaction.
  
        Our purchase price estimates do not include certain contingent
  obligations referred to in under "Management's Discussion and Analysis
  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and
  Capital Resources" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
  thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2001.  Our purchase price
  estimates also assume that GC Companies' debtor-in-possession, or DIP,
  facility borrowings at the effective time of the plan of
  reorganization will not exceed $20.5 million, which amount includes
  $10.75 million for the purchase of participating interests in loans to
  GC Companies' South American joint venture as contemplated by the
  Fleet/Bank of America support agreement. If borrowings at the
  effective time are different from our current estimates, the purchase
  price and the cash we will pay may increase or decrease depending on
  the final borrowings outstanding under the DIP facility. We are
  required to repay the DIP facility on the effective date of the plan
  of reorganization if GC Companies is unable to do so.
