The following message to employees was released via electronic mail by Western
Resources' Shareholder Services Department on or about July 6, 1998:
A number of employees have asked why they received a second proxy card,
especially if they had already returned the card received with the proxy
statement and notice of meeting. A proxy card accompanied the brochure which
was prepared to provide answers to commonly asked questions about the
transaction and its impact on Western Resources shareholders.
Many employees will receive two cards because they own shares directly with
the company and also through the 401K Plan.
A shareholder need return only one proxy card for each account. Any reminder
mailings for the Special Shareholder Meeting will be directed only to those
shareholders that have not returned a proxy card.
