U S WEST ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER RESULTS
COLORADO, June 21, 1999 - U S WEST, Inc. (NYSE: USW) announced today that it has
instructed the Bank of New York, the Depositary, under its tender offer for
39,259,305 shares of Global Crossing Ltd. (Nasdaq: GBLX) to accept for payment
the shares tendered pursuant to the tender offer. U S WEST, Inc. also announced
that 240,408,157 shares were tendered pursuant to the tender offer which is
201,148,852 shares more than the number of shares which U S WEST, Inc. offered
to purchase pursuant to the tender offer. Accordingly, U S WEST, Inc. has
commenced the proration process for determining which shares will be accepted
for payment. As specified in the Offer to Purchase relating to the tender offer,
such proration will be based on the number of shares validly tendered and not
withdrawn by a shareholder to the total number of shares validly tendered and
not withdrawn by all shareholders (with adjustments to avoid purchases of
fractional shares). U S WEST, Inc. expects to announce the proration factor and
to instruct the Depositary to commence payment for shares purchased pursuant to
the tender offer in approximately five (5) days.
