Abstract
The tender offer for the Notes was originally set to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time on October 5, 2006. On each of October 5, 2006 and October 13, 2006, Alderwoods further extended the expiration date of the tender offer for the Notes to October 13, 2006 and October 19, 2006, respectively, in order to coordinate the closing of the tender offer with Service Corporation International's closing of the acquisition of Alderwoods described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 7, 2006. The tender offer is being further extended to October 26, 2006 in order to coordinate the closing of the tender offer with Service Corporation International's closing of the acquisition of Alderwoods. Except for the above change, all terms and conditions of the tender offer are unchanged and remain in full force and effect.
