Item 5.
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholders Matters
The registrant has no voting stock or class of common stock outstanding as of the date of this report. The beneficial interest in the Trust is represented by its Class B certificates of beneficial interest (the "Certificates"). The Trust also has four outstanding classes of debt securities (the "Notes"), as set forth below. To the knowledge of the registrant, the Certificates and the Notes are traded in the over-the-counter market to a limited extent.
As of December 31, 2000, all of the Certificates and the Notes were registered in the name of CEDE and Co. The registrant understands that CEDE and Co. is the nominee for the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). The registrant further understands that DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Certificates and the Notes held of record by CEDE & Co., and that DTC knows only the identity of the participants to whose accounts such Certificates and Notes are credited, who may or may not be the beneficial owners of the Certificates and the Notes. The Commission has concurred with the registrant's position that the registrant may consider holders of interests in the DTC System or DTC participants to be "holders of record" and on that basis:
