Be sure to vote your proxy
Those of you who are BellSouth shareholders should have recently received a
package containing the BellSouth proxy statement and voting information for a
Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held December 5, 2000. The proxy statement
provides information regarding proposals that will enable BellSouth to issue a
second class of common stock, a "tracking stock," which is designed to reflect
the performance and prospects of our Latin American companies. This new class of
stock is a critical element in BellSouth's strategy of expanding our Latin
American operations. The Latin America tracking stock would give us another
capital source and would provide greater market visibility of BellSouth's
pan-regional wireless presence in Latin America.
The BellSouth Board of Directors urges you to review the proxy statement
carefully and then vote "FOR" the proposals. You may vote by telephone, on the
Internet or by mail, or you may cast your vote in person at the Special Meeting.
If you have not received your proxy statement , or if you have any questions
after reviewing the material, please call 800-969-2372.
A favorable vote of a majority of BellSouth's outstanding shares is required to
pass the tracking stock proposal. Your vote is very important. Please exercise
your right to vote.
