   This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Chaser Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Purchaser"), NTT Communications Corporation, a limited liability
joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Japan ("NTT
Communications"), and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, a limited
liability joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Japan ("NTT"), on
May 17, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (as amended, the "Schedule
TO"), relating to the offer to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock") (other than shares of
Common Stock already owned by NTT Communications and its subsidiaries), of
Verio Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Verio"), all issued and outstanding
shares of Series A 6.75% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per
share, of Verio and certain outstanding warrants to purchase 1,306,228 shares
of Common Stock of Verio, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 17, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase")
and in the related Letters of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to
Purchase, as supplemented or amended from time to time, constitute the
"Offer"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.

   This Amendment also amends and supplements the Schedule 13D of NTT, NTT
Communications and NTT Rocky, Inc. originally filed on May 22, 1998, as
amended.

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

   The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled "Legal Matters; Required
Regulatory Approvals--Antitrust" is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
the following thereto:

     "On May 30, 2000, NTT Communications and Verio filed with the Antitrust
  Division of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") and the
  Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") their Hart-Scott-Rodino Notification and
  Report Forms. Under the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
  Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, applicable to the Offer, the
  acquisition of Shares pursuant to the Offer may be consummated at any time
  after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2000, unless NTT
  Communications or Verio receives a request for additional information from
  the Antitrust Division or the FTC or unless early termination of the
  waiting period is granted."

   The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled "Legal Matters; Required
Regulatory Approvals--Exon-Florio Amendment" is hereby amended and
supplemented by adding the following thereto:

     "On May 30, 2000, NTT Communications and Verio filed a joint voluntary
  notice with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
  ("CFIUS") under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as
  amended (the "Exon-Florio Amendment"), relating to the proposed acquisition
  of Verio by NTT Communications pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Under the
  Exon-Florio Amendment, CFIUS is required to determine whether to commence
  an investigation by June 29, 2000. If NTT Communications does not receive
  notification from CFIUS prior to the current Expiration Date of the Offer,
  12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 14, 2000, that CFIUS will not
  commence an investigation, NTT Communications expects to extend the Offer
  until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 29, 2000. If CFIUS does
  commence an investigation within the prescribed time period, it must
  complete the investigation and submit a report and recommendation to the
  President of the United States within 45 calendar days following the
  determination to commence an investigation. The President then has 15
  calendar days following the completion of CFIUS's investigation to take
  action with respect to the transaction."
