IMPORTANT REMINDER
Dear Shareholder:
The Special Meeting of Shareholders will be held shortly and we have not
yet received your proxy card for this important meeting. As you may know, at
the Special Meeting to be held on Friday, October 30, 1998, you are being asked
to vote "FOR" approval of the merger of CalEnergy Company, Inc. and
MidAmerican.
In the merger, you will receive $27.15 in cash for each MidAmerican common
share you own. This amount represents a premium of nearly 36% over the closing
price of $20.00 per share of MidAmerican common stock on August 11, 1998, the
last trading day prior to the announcement of the merger.
Please take a moment and vote the enclosed duplicate proxy today -- even
if you plan to attend the Special Meeting. Remember, we must have at least 50%
of all outstanding shares voting "FOR" in order to have the merger approved.
Otherwise, the company may be forced to incur additional costs for further
mailings.
No matter how many shares you own, your vote is important. A failure to
vote is the same as a vote against the merger.
If you need another copy of the proxy statement previously sent to you or
have any questions, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc., which is assisting
us with the solicitation of proxies, at (800) 322-2885 Toll-free or (212)
929-5500 Collect or the company's shareholder services office at (800) 247-5211
or (515) 242-4310.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
/s/ Stanley J. Bright
