OTHER EVENTS. On December 6, 2000, World Access announced that its planned tender offer for the acquisition of all publicly traded shares in TelDaFax AG will be effected at an increased exchange ratio of 1.16 World Access shares for each TelDaFax share. The increase in the exchange ratio was made in order to comply with the German Takeover Code, in light of recent trading activity in TelDaFax shares. The Apax funds and Dr. Henning Klose, CEO of TelDaFax, have waived their rights under the TelDaFax Purchase Agreement to get additional shares. World Access has agreed to reimburse the Apax funds for certain expenses related to the transaction. At the new ratio, if 100% of outstanding TelDaFax shares are tendered, World Access will issue an aggregate of up to approximately 37.7 million shares of World Access common stock in the TelDaFax transactions, including approximately 22.9 million shares in order to complete the tender.
