Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following to the end thereof: On April 17, 2001, AT&T and Excite@Home entered into a non-binding Letter of Agreement (the "LOA"). The LOA (including the attached term sheet) sets forth the terms of a proposed arrangement under which the existing backbone fiber agreement between AT&T and Excite@Home would be replaced with a long-term lease for transport services having the same essential terms, AT&T would pay Excite@Home the greater of $75 million and the fair market value of the existing agreement, not to exceed $85 million, and Excite@Home would outsource some of its engineering and network operations to AT&T (which could also include the transfer of certain Excite@Home assets and employees to AT&T). The arrangement contemplated by the LOA is subject to negotiation of a definitive agreement incorporating the terms set forth in the LOA, which AT&T and Excite@Home have agreed to use their best efforts to complete no later than June 16, 2001. Either party may terminate the LOA if the definitive agreement is not completed by that date, and Excite@Home may elect not to enter into the definitive agreement if the independent directors of Excite@Home (i.e., those who are not affiliated with AT&T) do not determine that the definitive agreement is in the best interest of and fair to Excite@Home and its shareholders. The transactions contemplated by the LOA are also subject to other customary conditions. The foregoing description of the LOA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the LOA, which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this amendment and is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 7.
