ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (e) A complaint (the "Complaint") purporting to be a class action, and relating to the Offer was filed in the Superior Court of King County, Washington on June 21, 1996 and was served on Company on July 8, 1996. The Complaint names Company, Parent and Buyer, as well as eleven members of the Board of Directors of Company as defendants. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that: (i) in negotiating the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and arriving at the Offer Price, the defendants named in the Complaint participated in unfair dealings toward the Plaintiff (as defined in the Complaint) and the other members of the Class (as defined in the Complaint); (ii) the defendants named in the Complaint violated their fiduciary and other common law duties owed to the Plaintiff and the other members of the Class; and (iii) the defendants have not exercised their independent business judgment, have acted and are acting to the detriment of the Class, and are using their control over Company to usurp for Parent the true value of Company's Shares at an unfair price. Parent and Buyer believe the action based on the allegations in the Complaint to be without merit and intend to defend the action vigorously. ii 3 SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of its knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
