The Company's headquarters is located at 10810 Farnam Drive, Omaha,
Nebraska 68154, and its telephone number is (402) 758-3900.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of Class
A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share. As of April 28, 1998, there were
15,377,828 shares of Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Class A Preferred
Stock outstanding.
On June 15, 1996, InaCom issued $55,250,000 in aggregate principal
amount of its 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2006 (the "6%
Debentures"). The 6% Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into
Common Stock at a conversion price of $24.00 per share; an aggregate of
2,302,084 shares of Common Stock would be issued if all 6% Debentures were
converted into Common Stock.
On November 4, 1997 and November 20, 1997, InaCom issued $86,250,000 in
aggregate principal amount of its 4.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
November 1, 2004 (the "4.5% Debentures"). The 4.5% Debentures are convertible at
any time into Common Stock at a conversion price of $39.63 per share; an
aggregate of 2,176,519 shares of Common Stock would be issued if all 4.5%
Debentures were converted into Common Stock.
Common Stock
Holders of outstanding Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as
may be declared by the Company Board of Directors out of the assets legally
available for that purpose, and are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The holders of
shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the
holders of more than 50% of the Common Stock voting for the election of
directors can elect all the directors, and the remaining holders will not be
able to elect any directors. The holders of Common Stock have no pre-emptive or
other subscription rights, and there are no conversion or redemption or sinking
fund provisions with respect to such shares.
All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will be, and when issued
upon conversion of the 6% Debentures and 4.5% Debentures, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

<PAGE>
Preferred Stock
The Company Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000
shares of Class A Preferred Stock in one or more series, from time to time, with
such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as may
be provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Company Board of
Directors. The authority of the Company Board of Directors includes, but is not
limited to, the determination or fixing of the following with respect to shares
of such class or any series thereof: (i) the number of shares; (ii) the dividend
rate and the date from which dividends are to be cumulative; (iii) whether
shares are to be redeemable and, if so, the terms and amount of any sinking fund
providing for the purchase or redemption of such shares; (iv) whether shares
shall be convertible, and, if so, the terms and provisions thereof; (v) what
restrictions are to apply, if any, on the issue or reissue of any additional
Class A Preferred Stock; and (vi) whether shares have voting rights. Shares of
Class A Preferred Stock may be issued with a preference over the Common Stock as
to the payment of dividends. No shares of Class A Preferred Stock have been
issued.
Classes of stock such as the Class A Preferred Stock may be used, in
certain circumstances, to create voting impediments on extraordinary corporate
transactions or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise to
gain control of the Company. For the foregoing reasons, any shares of Class A
Preferred Stock issued by the Company could have an adverse effect on the rights
of the holders of the Common Stock. The Company has no present plans to issue
any shares of Class A Preferred Stock.
Liquidation and Other Rights
Upon liquidation, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in assets available for distribution to stockholders after satisfaction
of any liquidation preferences of any outstanding preferred stock. The issuance
of any shares of series of Class A Preferred Stock in future financings,
acquisitions or otherwise may result in dilution of voting power and relative
equity interest of the holders of shares of Common Stock and will subject the
Common Stock to the prior dividend and liquidation rights of the outstanding
shares of the series of preferred stock.
Advance Notice Requirements in Connection with Stockholder Meetings
The Company bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for bringing
business before an annual meeting of stockholders and for nominating (other than
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors) candidates for election as
directors at a meeting of stockholders. To be timely, notice of business to be
brought before an annual meeting or nominations of candidates for election of
directors at a meeting must be received by the Secretary of the Company not less
than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting. In the event that less than
40 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder must be received no later than the tenth
day following the date on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or
public disclosure thereof was made.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the Delaware prohibits a
publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination"
with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of
the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless
upon consummation of such transaction the interested stockholder owned 85% of
the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced or unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which
such person became interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner.
A "business combination" includes a merger, an asset sale and any other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An
"interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to Article VII of the Certificate of Incorporation of InaCom,
InaCom shall, to the extent required, and may, to the extent permitted, by
Section 102 and Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, indemnify and reimburse all persons whom it may indemnify and
reimburse pursuant thereto. No director shall be liable to InaCom or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
with respect to acts or omissions occurring on or after May 27, 1987. A director
shall continue to be liable for (i) any breach of a director's duty of loyalty
to InaCom or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) paying a
dividend or approving a stock repurchase which would violate Section 174 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or (iv) any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The by-laws of InaCom provide for indemnification of InaCom's officers
and directors against all expenses, liabilities or losses reasonably incurred or
suffered by them, including liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
to the extent legally permissible under section 145 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware where any such person was, is, or is threatened to
be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact such
person was serving InaCom in such capacity. Generally, under Delaware law,
indemnification may only be available where an officer or director can establish
that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of InaCom.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant ("Registrant") hereby undertakes
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus, any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included i a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the Securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(3) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the Securities offered
therein, and the offering of such Securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to written agreements, Bylaw provisions or the Delaware Law,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
