Tanabe 5/7/99 ------------------------------- ----------------- Name: Charles Y. Tanabe Date Title: Senior Vice President Page 2 ANNEX A #1. Name and Address of Reporting Person: ------------------------------------ Liberty Media Corporation 9197 South Peoria Street Englewood, CO 80112 #2. Issuer Name and Ticker or Trading Symbol: ---------------------------------------- General Instrument Corporation GIC #4. Transaction Date: ---------------- 4/5/99 __________________________________________ Explanation of Responses (footnotes): (1) Includes (i) 21,356,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by a subsidiary of the Reporting Person (the "Original Shares"); (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned directly by the Reporting Person (the "New Shares"); and (iii) 4,928,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise of vested warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of Common Stock, owned by the Reporting Person (such shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the "Warrant Shares" and, collectively with the Original Shares and the New Shares, the "Shares"). Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Reporting Person"), is filing this Report on Form 4 with respect to the New Shares. The Reporting Person previously filed a Report on Form 3 with respect to its acquisition of beneficial ownership of the Original Shares and the Warrant Shares in connection with the Merger (as defined below). Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"), as the corporate parent entity of the Reporting Person, had previously filed Reports on Form 3 and Form 4 with respect to its beneficial ownership of the Original Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Reporting Person succeeded to the beneficial ownership of the Original Shares and the Warrant Shares as a result of the merger (the "Merger") of Italy Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T Corp. ("AT&T"), with and into TCI. In the Merger, (i) TCI became a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, (ii) the businesses and assets of TCI's Liberty Media Group and TCI Ventures Group were combined and (iii) the holders of TCI's Liberty Media Group common stock and TCI Ventures Group common stock received in exchange for their shares a new class of common stock of AT&T intended to reflect the results of the combined Liberty Media Group and TCI Ventures Group. Following the Merger, AT&T's "Liberty Media Group" consists of the assets and businesses of TCI's Liberty Media Group and its TCI Ventures Group prior to the Merger, except for certain assets which were transferred to the TCI Group in connection with the Merger, and its "Common Stock Group" consists of all of the other assets and businesses of AT&T. The Board of Directors and management of the Reporting Person manages the business and affairs of the Reporting Person, including, but not limited to, making determinations regarding the disposition and voting of the Shares. Although the Reporting Person is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, a majority of the Reporting Person's Board of Directors consist of individuals designated by TCI prior to the Merger. If these individuals or their designated successors cease to constitute a majority of the Reporting Person's Board, the Reporting Person will transfer all of its assets and businesses to a new entity. Although this new entity would be owned substantially by AT&T, it would continue to be managed (including with respect to the voting and disposition of the Shares) by management of the Reporting Person prior to such transfer of assets. As a result, the Reporting Person, acting through its Board of Directors and management, will have the power to determine how the Shares will be voted and, subject to the limitations of the Delaware General Corporation Law, will have the power to dispose of the Shares, and thus is considered the beneficial owner of the Shares for purposes of Section 16. (2) The New Shares are owned directly by the Reporting Person. The Original Shares are owned by TCIVG-GIC, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, and the Warrants are owned directly by the Reporting Person. 2 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
