GUIDE TO MERGER PROPOSAL BOOKLETS AVAILABLE
As we near the May 22 shareholder meeting of KCPL, an informational
booklet is being mailed to all KCPL shareholders with details of our
proposal.
The booklet shows why Western Resources believes it is providing
superior value in its proposal and provides facts and figures about
the benefits we have advertised.
Watch for a copy of the booklet, which is being sent to all Western
Resources employees through interoffice mail.
Western Resources has filed exchange offer materials with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and intends to make its offer
directly to shareholders of KCPL as soon as its registration statement
has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A registration statement relating to the Western Resources securities
referred to in these materials has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. Such securities
may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. These materials shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
state.
