The following email will be sent to BellSouth employees regarding the
availability of a question and answer form on the BellSouth internet web site
which addresses questions on BellSouth's proposed Latin America tracking stock.
This email replaces the version which was filed earlier on November 1.
Tracking stock frequently asked questions available online
You can now access the most frequently asked questions about the tracking stock
on the Latin America tracking stock web site. Simply go to
www.bellsouth.com/investor/la and select "Frequently Asked Questions" from the
menu of choices.
In addition to those listed on the web site, many of you may have questions
about how the tracking stock will affect shares you own through
company-sponsored plans. We are currently addressing these issues, and will
provide you with information as soon as it is available.
In the meantime, we hope the posted FAQs will be helpful. In particular, please
note Q&A 19, which discusses the importance of voting. Most proposals presented
to our shareholders require a favorable vote of a majority of the shares voted
to pass. In contrast, the tracking stock proposal must be approved by a majority
of the shares outstanding. Therefore, if you don't vote, it is generally the
same as voting against the proposal. Please review the information in the proxy
statement and vote your shares.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote for the tracking
stock proposal.
BellSouth needs your vote - please vote today.
