* The number of shares covered under this Schedule 13G (the “Shares”) reflects the ten-for-one reverse stock split effected by the Issuer in September, 2002.  On June 30, 2002, NGS&MS, Northrop Grumman and Richmond Acquisition Corp., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman ("Richmond") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger.  Pursuant to the merger agreement, on December 11, 2002 Richmond was merged with and into NGS&MS, with NGS&MS surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman.  As the sole parent of NGS&MS, Northrop Grumman acquired the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Shares.  As the record owner of the Shares, NGS&MS still has the direct power to vote and direct the disposition of the Shares.

(A)

In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this figure includes 570,000 shares of Multilink Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by NGS&MS and Northrop Grumman (together, the “Reporting Persons”), because each outstanding share of Multilink Class B common stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of Multilink Class A common stock.  Holders of Multilink Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Multilink Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of Multilink’s shareholders.

 

 

 

 

(B)

In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this percentage is based on the quotient of (a) the sum of the 125,000 shares of Multilink Class A common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons plus the 570,000 shares of Multilink Class B common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, divided by (b) the sum of all shares of Multilink Class A common stock outstanding plus the 570,000 shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.  If all outstanding shares of Class B common stock were included in the denominator, rather than just those beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership would represent 9.2% of such class.  The number of outstanding shares of Multilink Class A and Class B common stock used in these calculations is based on the number of shares outstanding as of November 11, 2002, as reported in Multilink’s Form 10-Q filed November 14, 2002.
