<PAGE>   11
         As previously reported, Americas III and UBS Capital LLC executed a
Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2000, by and among the Company,
Americas III and UBS Capital LLC, which is incorporated herein by reference to
Exhibit B to the Original Schedule 13D (the "Purchase Agreement"). Under the
Purchase Agreement, Americas III and UBS Capital LLC agreed to purchase shares
of Class I Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Class I Preferred") and
shares of Class II Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Class II
Preferred"). Simultaneously with the signing of the Purchase Agreement on June
15, 2000, Americas III and UBS Capital LLC purchased 1,149,878 shares of Class I
Preferred and 60,520 shares of Class I Preferred, respectively, for a price of
$12.31 per share or $14,900,000 in the aggregate. Under the Purchase Agreement,
Americas III and UBS Capital LLC also agreed to invest an additional
$10,100,000, in the aggregate, in the Company by purchasing shares of the
Company's Class II Preferred at a per share price to be determined at the
closing based on the then-current market price of the Common Stock, such
purchase price to be in any event between $12.31 per share and $18.74 per share.
The consummation of the purchase of the Class II Preferred was conditioned upon,
among other things, termination of the statutory waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR
Approval"). On July 17, 2000, Americas III and UBS Capital LLC consummated their

Americas III and UBS Capital LLC purchased 779,447 shares of Class II Preferred
and 41,024 shares of Class II Preferred, respectively, for a price of $12.31 per
share or $10,100,000 in the aggregate.

         The Class I Preferred and Class II Preferred were authorized pursuant
to a Certificate of Designation, Number, Powers, Preferences and Relative,
Participating, Optional and Other Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock of IFX Corporation, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware on June 15, 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit
C to the Original Schedule 13D (the "Certificate of Designation"). Both the
Class I Preferred and Class II Preferred are convertible into Common Stock on a
one-for-one basis, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Pursuant to
the Certificate of Designation, holders of the Class I Preferred or Class II
Preferred have preemptive rights with respect to certain issuances by the
Company of its capital stock or securities convertible into such capital stock.
Under the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), Americas III and UBS
Capital LLC have certain rights of first refusal on, and certain rights to
participate in, transfers of capital stock of the Company by the other
stockholders party thereto. The Stockholders Agreement also restricts, for a
period of two years, Americas III, UBS Capital LLC or any of their affiliates
from acquiring additional voting securities of the Company which may result in
Americas III and UBS Capital LLC, together with their affiliates, holding in
excess of 20% of the voting securities of the Company, except such acquisitions
which (i) are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company,
(ii) result from any stock dividends, reclassifications or other distributions
or offerings made available to the Company's stockholders on a pro rata basis or
(iii) are made pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.

                  Each Reporting Person acquired the shares reported for
investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire
additional shares of the Company in the open market or in privately negotiated
or other transactions, subject to availability of such shares at prices deemed
favorable, the Company's business or financial condition and to other factors
and conditions the


                                 page 11 of 17
<PAGE>   12
Reporting Persons deem appropriate, and subject to limitations set forth in the
Stockholders Agreement. Alternatively, the Reporting Persons may sell all or a
portion of their shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock in the open market
or in privately negotiated transactions. The Reporting Persons' designees
serving on the Board of Directors of the Company, in their capacity as
directors, provide advice to and consult with the Company's management on
business strategy and operations on an ongoing basis (see paragraph (d) below).

         As previously reported, simultaneously with the signing of the Purchase
Agreement on June 15, 2000, Americas III entered into a Binding Letter Agreement
with the Company whereby Americas III agreed to purchase shares of a newly
created series of preferred stock of Tutopia.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Tutopia"). At such time, Tutopia was a majority owned subsidiary of Latin
Guide, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
("Latin Guide"). Pursuant to the Binding Letter Agreement, Americas III and UBS
Capital LLC executed a Purchase Agreement with the Company, Latin Guide, and
Tutopia, whereby Americas III and UBS Capital LLC agreed to pay Tutopia
$15,000,000, in the aggregate, for 7,134,364 shares of Tutopia's preferred stock
(a per share price of $2.1025). The transaction was consummated on August 31,
2000. UBS now controls Tutopia by reason of its majority ownership of the
preferred stock, which has the right to designate a majority of the Board of
Directors.

currently set at seven directors. The Reporting Persons are entitled to appoint
one of its representatives as holder of a majority of the outstanding Class I

LLC, International Technology Investments, LLC, Lee S. Casty, Joel Eidelstein
and Michael Shalom, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit D to
the Original Schedule 13D (the "Stockholders Agreement"), the Reporting Persons
are entitled to appoint a second director to the Company's Board, which
directorship will terminate upon the election of an independent director
satisfactory to the Reporting Persons. On June 15, 2000, Charles W. Moore and
Mark O. Lama, Principals of Advisor, were designated by the Reporting Persons
and elected to the Company's Board (the "UBS Board Representatives").

                  (e) Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed the
Certificate of Designation designating (i) 1,210,398 shares of its 10,000,000
authorized shares of preferred stock as Class I Preferred and (ii) 820,471
