NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING ANNOUNCES CHANGE
FOR 1999 ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. June 24, 1999 - Newport News Shipbuilding (NYSE:NNS)
announced today that, upon convening its 1999 Annual Shareholders Meeting, to be
held on Friday, June 25, 1999, at The Jefferson Hotel, Franklin and Adams
Streets, Richmond, Virginia, beginning at 10:00 a.m., it intends to adjourn the
meeting in order to reconvene at 11:00 a.m. at Riverfront Plaza, East Tower, 951
Byrd Street (20th floor), Richmond, Virginia.
This change was the result of The Jefferson Hotel management's decision
to cancel its contract with NNS for the meeting facilities out of concern for
the safety and convenience of its hotel patrons due to the picketing and
demonstrations planned outside the hotel by the United Steelworkers of America
during Newport News Shipbuilding's Annual Meeting.
The Shareholders Meeting is open to all NNS shareholders of record as
of May 11, 1999.
Newport News Shipbuilding designs and constructs nuclear-powered
aircraft carriers and submarines for the U.S. Navy and provides life-cycle
services for ships in the Navy fleet. The company employs 18,000 people and has
annual revenues of approximately $1.8 billion. Visit NNS on the Web at
