If you did not return your proxy for the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on March 29, 1996, you have another opportunity to do so at this time. The Proposal before the meeting involved approval of a transaction which would eliminate the Company's Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stockholders, as a class, approved the proposal; however, less than a majority of outstanding shares of Common Stock were available to vote at the Meeting. As a result, the Meeting was adjourned with respect to the Common Stock until April 17, 1996. The transaction being voted upon is extremely important to you and to the Company because it: * eliminates the Preferred Stock in a manner which is less dilutive to the Common Stock than the redemption alternative available under the terms of the Preferred Stock: * eliminates the $10.5 million annual Preferred Stock dividend charge, and improves the Common Stock book value; * enables the Company to meet continued listing standards with the New York Stock Exchange. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!! In most cases, you may vote by calling your broker with your instructions OR by returning the proxy card recently mailed to you. If voting by mail, please allow ample time (at least 5 days) for your proxy to be received and voted at the Meeting. For additional information or proxy materials, please call: (800) 747-2967 Information Agents are available to respond to your questions or assist you with voting your proxy.
