ITEM 5. INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) Due to the New Voting Agreement and pursuant to Rule 13d-5, each of
the parties to the New Voting Agreement may be deemed to be members
of a "group," and thereby may be deemed to beneficially own all of
the shares owned by all other parties to the New Voting Agreement.
The parties to the New Voting Agreement beneficially own directly
2,030,591 shares, or 49.95% of the outstanding shares of Company
Class B. common stock. The "group" consists of AVLP, Prime Growth,
Prime Holdings, PCLP, BancBoston Capital, Inc., First Chicago
Investment Corporation, Madison Dearborn Partners V, Prime Venture
II, L.P., William Blair Venture Partners III Limited Partnership,
Centennial Fund III, L.P., PIIM, Ronald A. Duncan, Robert M. Walp,
and MCI. TCI GCI, Inc. ("TCI GCI"), an original party to the New
Voting Agreement, has sold all shares of stock beneficially owned by
it and is, therefore, no longer a party to the New Voting Agreement.
AVLP expressly declares that the filing of this statement shall not
be construed as an admission that AVLP is, for the purposes of
Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any
securities covered by this statement. After giving effect to such
disclaimer, AVLP beneficially owns directly no shares of Class B
common stock of the Company.
(b) See Items 7-10 on the cover page.
(c) On or about August 1, 1997 and August 12, 1997, TGI GCI converted an
aggregate of 590,043 shares of the Class B Common Stock into Class A
common stock and sold those shares in an underwritten public
offering.
(d) No other person has the right or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends or the proceeds from the sale of the securities reported
herein.
(e) Not applicable.
