KCPL, WESTERN RESOURCES CONTINUE WORK TOWARD
AGREEMENT; TENDER OFFER EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 5
Kansas City Power & Light Company (NYSE:KLT) and Western
Resources, Inc. (NYSE:WR) said today that substantive merger
negotiations are continuing between the two companies.
As a result of the positive dialogue between the companies,
Western Resources is extending the expiration date of its tender
offer to 5 p.m. EST, February 5, 1997, and will continue to
refrain from actively soliciting tenders of KCPL shares.
Although there can be no assurance that any agreement will
result from such negotiations, if a definitive merger agreement
is reached on or prior to February 5, it is Western Resources'
intention to terminate its tender offer at such time and proceed
with the merger.
As of 5 p.m. EST January 15, 1997,30.2 million shares of
KCPL (or approximately 49 percent of the total outstanding
shares) had been tendered to Western Resources.
This news release is neither an offer to exchange nor a
solicitation of an offer to exchange shares of common stock of KCPL.
Such offer is made solely by the Prospectus dated July 3, 1996, and
the related Letter of Transmittal, and is not being made to, nor will
tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of shares of common
stock of KCPL in any jurisdiction in which the making of such offer or
the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of
such jurisdiction. In any jurisdictions where securities, blue sky or
other laws require such offer to be made by a licensed broker or
dealer, such offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of Western
Resources, Inc. by Salomon Brothers Inc or one or more registered
brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
