Dear Compliance Officer:
It has been brought to our attention that the solicitation of consents solicited
by Frank E. Williams, Jr., a shareholder of Europa Cruises, Cusip# 98738105, may
not be in compliance with procedure and practices of submitting a valid consent.
In several instances he has requested that customers of certain firms sign and
return their consent directly to him.
Therefore, we ask you to notify your branch offices and representatives and to
alert them that consents and revocations of consents should be submitted through
your proxy department or voting agent, ADP. Bypassing this procedure could
result in the submission of duplicate consents or prevent your client from
validly revoking a previously given consent.
We encourage you to have your representatives contact their clients regarding
this contested consent for Directors and instruct them that consents or
revocation of consents must be submitted through your proxy department or ADP.
Should you have any further questions, please contact our consent solicitor
Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. at 212.440.9800.
Very truly yours,
THE COMMITTEE OF CONCERNED EUROPA STOCKHOLDERS
PAUL DEMATTIA JOHN R. DUBER JAMES C. ILLIUS ROGER A. SMITH
