(b) On May 7, 2000, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with NTT Communications Corporation ("NTT
Communications") and Chaser Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of NTT Communications ("Sub"). The Merger Agreement was filed
previously as an exhibit to the Registrant's Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 8, 2000. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof and
as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 17, 2000 (the "Offer to
Purchase"), and in the related Letters of Transmittal (which, together with the
Offer to Purchase, as amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the
"Offer"), Sub has commenced a cash tender offer for (i) all of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Registrant
(other than shares of common stock already owned by NTT Communications and its
subsidiaries), at a purchase price of $60.00 per share, net to the seller in
cash, without interest thereon, (ii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Series A 6.75% convertible preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
Registrant, at a purchase price of $62.136 per share, plus, if the purchase of
the shares of convertible preferred stock pursuant to the Offer occurs after
July 31, 2000, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares of
convertible preferred stock from August 1, 2000 to and including the expiration
date of the Offer, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, and
(iii) certain outstanding warrants to purchase 1,306,228 shares of common stock
of the Registrant. Following the Offer, Sub will merge with and into the
Registrant (the "Merger") and the Registrant will become an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Communications. In the Merger, the remaining
common and preferred shareholders of the Registrant will become entitled to
receive the per share consideration paid in the Offer.
