EXPLANATORY NOTE
On April 9, 1998 the Registrant registered 500,000 shares of its common
stock ("IXC Common Stock") on Form S-8 (File No. 333-49817) (the "Registration
Statement") to be issued from time to time under the Registrant's 1997 Special
Executive Stock Plan (the "Plan").
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
July 20, 1999, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), among Cincinnati Bell Inc.,
doing business as Broadwing Inc. ("BW"), Ivory Merger Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of BW ("Merger Sub"), and the Registrant, on November 9, 1999, Merger
Sub merged (the "Merger") with and into the Registrant and, as a result of the
Merger, BW owns all the outstanding common stock of the Registrant. In
connection with the Merger, all outstanding options issued pursuant to the Plan
are no longer exercisable for IXC Common Stock, but instead, constitute options
to acquire BW common stock on such terms and conditions as set forth in the
Merger Agreement.
The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement is to terminate the Registration Statement and to deregister the
200,000 shares of IXC Common Stock originally registered thereby which remain
unsold as of such termination.
