On May 31, 1995, the Court of Chancery for the State of
Delaware entered an order dismissing a class action lawsuit, IN
RE SANTA FE PACIFIC CORPORATION SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION, C. A. No.
13587, purportedly filed on behalf of Santa Fe Pacific
Corporation ("SFP") stockholders against SFP, the individual
members of the SFP Board of Directors, and Burlington Northern
Inc. ("BNI") in connection with the proposed merger of SFP and
BNI. The court granted motions to dismiss filed by SFP and BNI,
finding that the lawsuit failed to state claims upon which relief
could be granted. On June 2, 1995, the plaintiffs appealed the
dismissal order to the Delaware Supreme Court.
