Dear Fellow Illinois Superconductor Shareholder:
Our June 30, 2000 Annual Meeting of shareholders has been adjourned to July 18
at 10 a.m. at the offices of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, 8000 Sears Tower,
Chicago, Illinois.
Illinois Superconductor has agreed to acquire Spectral Solutions, Inc. for 3.5
million shares, and the closing of this merger is conditioned upon ISC's
shareholders approving the pending proposal to authorize more ISC shares.
WE ARE PLEASED THAT OF THE SHAREHOLDERS WHO HAVE VOTED THUS FAR, OVER 90% HAVE
VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSALS - BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR VOTE "FOR" THE
PROPOSALS.
Please don't underestimate the importance of your vote. We have over 40,000
shareholders and every vote counts - no matter what the size.
REMEMBER: FAILURE TO VOTE IS THE SAME AS A VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSALS.
Even if you recently sold some or all of your Illinois Superconductor shares, we
ask for your help in voting "FOR" these important proposals. Whether or not you
currently hold the shares, only holders of record on June 6 are entitled to
vote.
Quick and easy telephone and Internet voting instructions are enclosed. Please
take a brief moment to vote your Illinois Superconductor shares NOW.
