Motorola will be filing a registration statement containing a proxy
statement/prospectus and other relevant documents concerning Motorola's
acquisition of C-Port with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC").  WE URGE INVESTORS TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ANY
OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE,
BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors will be able to obtain the
documents free of charge at the SEC's web site, www.sec.gov. In addition,
documents filed with the SEC by Motorola will be available free of charge by
contacting Motorola Investor Relations at 1303 East Algonquin Road, Schaumburg,
Illinois 60196, Telephone (800) 262-8509.  READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A DECISION CONCERNING THE MERGER.

Statements about Motorola's future financial performance, the likelihood that
the transaction will be consummated in a timely manner and the financial impact
of the transaction are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  It is uncertain whether any
of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or
occur, or, if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of
operations and financial condition of the Semiconductor Products Sector,
Motorola or the price of its stock. Motorola wishes to caution the reader that
the following factors and those in its 1999 Proxy Statement on pages F-15
through F-18, in its Form 10-Q for the period ending October 2, 1999, and in its
other SEC filings could cause the actual results of Motorola or the
Semiconductor Products Sector to differ materially from those in the forward-
looking statements: the ability of the companies to successfully integrate
C-Port's business and capitalize on the combined technologies; and factors
affecting the future evolution of the communications processor market and
related technology.
