Item 5. Other Events.
- ---------------------
Telco Communications Group, Inc. ("Telco") and Telco employees Kim Hakim,
David Morrissey and Stephen Canton, have been named as defendants in an action
brought by Frontier Corporation ("Frontier") in the U.S. District Court in the
Southern District of Indiana. The Telco employees named as defendants in the
action are all former employees of Frontier Communications Services, Inc. or
its predecessor Allnet Communication Services, Inc.
The complaint alleges that, while employed by Telco, Hakim, Morrissey and
Canton breached provisions of their employment agreements with Frontier by,
with the acquiescence and assistance of Telco, soliciting Frontier customers
and employees. The complaint requests that Frontier be awarded monetary in
excess of $75,000, that the defendants make an accounting of all profits
earned as a result of the alleged wrongful activities, that the individual
defendants be ordered to hold such funds in constructive trust for the benefit
of Frontier and that all defendants be enjoined from further violations.
Telco denies any liability whatsoever regarding former Frontier customers
and employees. Telco is not a party to any agreement with Frontier that would
prevent Telco from providing services to former customers of Frontier. Telco
believes that Frontier's assertions are completely without merit and intends
to vigorously defend such actions.
