NTT Communications and Verio have been advised by CFIUS that, following
completion of its investigation (pursuant to the Exon-Florio Amendment) of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the constituent members of
CFIUS have each voted to recommend to the President of the United States that
he take no action to suspend or prohibit the transactions. By law, the
President of the United States must act on this recommendation by August 29,
2000.
In connection with the proceedings, NTT Communications and Verio, following
consummation of the Offer, will supplement Verio's existing internal
operational policies, manuals and procedures for handling lawful requests of
law enforcement agencies, including formal security procedures to protect
classified information. These new steps will also ensure that Verio customer
information is not disclosed to unauthorized parties. NTT Communications and
Verio believe that these steps further goals shared by the industry and are
fully consistent with the requirements of Verio's customers.
