         On October 30, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation ("Infinity" or
the "Registrant"), Viacom Inc. ("Viacom") and IBC Merger Corp., a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of Viacom ("Merger Sub"), entered into a definitive
agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Infinity
will merge with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger") and Viacom will acquire all
the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per
share, of Infinity ("Infinity Class A Shares") not currently owned by Viacom. In
the Merger, each outstanding Infinity Class A Share will be converted into the
right to receive 0.592 of a share of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of Viacom. Viacom currently holds 100% of Infinity's Class B Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Infinity Class B Shares"), which
