                                   THE COMPANY

         LCI International, Inc. ("LCI" or the "Company") is a facilities-based
long distance telecommunications carrier that provides domestic and
international telecommunications service offerings in all market segments:
commercial, residential and wholesale. The Company serves its customers
primarily through owned and leased digital fiber optic facilities spanning the
U.S. LCI's network also includes switches strategically located throughout the
U.S., connecting LCI to metropolitan areas that account for 95% of U.S. call
volume.

         The Company provides a broad array of long distance telecommunications
services to its customers, which include residential, small, medium-sized and
large businesses, national accounts, other carriers, government agencies and
academic institutions. The Company's switched services include basic long
distance, accessible via "1 plus" dialing or dialing a five digit access code,
and a variety of long distance services for larger customers available through
switched or dedicated lines. The Company seeks to attract and retain a wide
range of commercial, wholesale and residential customers through introduction of
new services, as well as continued provision of high quality service at
competitive prices. Although the Company provides long distance services to a
wide range of market segments, the Company does not seek to compete with every
service offered by the Company's competitors.

         The Company focuses on differentiating LCI through simple, fair and
inexpensive telecommunications services which provide residential customers with
competitive and easy-to-understand rates that primarily vary based on whether a
call is placed during or after business hours and not by the distance of a call.
The Company does not attach any complex conditions to its residential services,
such as minimum monthly usage or requiring customers to sign up other customers
to earn full discounts. An additional element is added to this strategy for
commercial customers, where LCI also focuses on offering a full complement of
high quality, competitively priced services to small, medium-sized and large
customers including calling card services, "800 services," audioconferencing and
specialized high-volume data transmission services. The Company's strategic
direction is supported by growth through expansion in sales offices and network
operating facilities, sales agent and distributor relationships, service
offerings to each market segment and selective acquisitions. This approach is
dependent on maintaining efficient, low cost operations in order to preserve
pricing flexibility and operating margins.

         The Company is also involved in state regulatory proceedings in various
states to secure approval to resell local service, which would enable the
Company to provide combined local and long distance services to existing and
prospective customers. The local service industry is estimated to be a $90
billion market. The Company believes that it has significant opportunities in
this industry. As of October 31, 1996, the Company had received different levels
of approval to resell local services in California, Connecticut, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, and had applications for local service
authority pending in 14 other states.

         The Company provides service to its customers through digital fiber
optic facilities which are owned and leased. Collectively, these facilities
constitute the Company's "network." The Company has agreements with certain
interexchange carriers, local exchange carriers and third party vendors to lease
facilities for originating, terminating and transport services. Certain of these
agreements require the Company to maintain minimum monthly and/or annual
billings based on usage. The third party carriers include AT&T Corp. ("AT&T"),
WorldCom Network Services, Inc. d/b/a WilTel 


                                       5
<PAGE>   8
("WorldCom"), Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") and MCI Telecommunications Corp.
("MCI"). In addition, the Company uses services provided by each Regional Bell
Operating Company ("RBOC"), GTE Telephone Operating Companies and other smaller
local exchange carriers. The Company currently has one significant contract with
a particular third party carrier. The amounts payable under that contract,
however, represent less than 10% of the Company's revenue on an annual basis.
The Company manages its network in order to maximize reliability and redundancy
and minimize dependence on any particular third party carrier. The Company may,
however, increase its reliance on a particular third party carrier as a result
of service, quality and pricing considerations. The Company has engineered its
network to minimize the impact on its customers of a service failure and has
established contingency plans to reroute traffic as quickly as possible if a
service failure by a third party carrier should occur. Although most service
failures that the Company has experienced have been corrected in a relatively
short time period, a catastrophic service failure could interrupt the provision
of service by both the Company and its competitors for a lengthy time period.
The restoration period for a catastrophic service failure cannot be reasonably
determined. The Company has not, however, experienced a catastrophic service
failure in its history.

         LCI, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in 1988 and is a holding
company. The Company's operations are conducted through its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 8180
Greensboro Drive, Suite 800, McLean, Virginia 22102 (telephone number (703)
442-0220). The Company maintains a home page on the World Wide Web located at
http://www.lci.com. Information contained in the Company's World Wide Web site
shall not be deemed part of this Prospectus. As used in this Prospectus,
references to "LCI" and the "Company" refer to LCI and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         Prospective investors in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby
should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other
information appearing and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. This
Prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain
forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results in the future could differ significantly from the results
discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that cause or contribute
to such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk
Factors" as well as elsewhere in this Prospectus and in "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" in
the Company's periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act incorporated herein
by reference.

         Competition. The long distance telecommunications market is highly
competitive and the Company expects that this competition will increase. The
Company competes with the five largest interexchange carriers, AT&T, MCI,
Sprint, WorldCom and Frontier Corporation, as well as other interexchange
carriers, resellers, and local exchange carriers (including the RBOCs) in
providing various types of long distance telecommunications services. The
Company believes that the principal factors affecting its market share are
pricing, customer service and diversity of services and features. Several of the
Company's competitors are substantially larger and have substantially greater
financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. The Company's
ability to compete effectively will depend on its continued ability to maintain
high quality, market-driven services at prices generally equal to or lower than
those charged by its competitors. Additionally, the Company will compete with
the same types of carriers as it enters the local service market.

         Regulation. The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission (the "FCC") and by various state public service and
public utility commissions. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),
enacted in February 1996, is expected to have a material impact on the Company's
operations and those of its competitors. The 1996 Act provided that the RBOCs
would be allowed to provide long distance telephone service in exchange for
opening their local networks to competition, but set different standards
relating to the provision of long distance telephone service by RBOCs within
their local service territories than for outside of their local service
territories. Pursuant to the 1996 Act, the RBOCs are currently allowed to offer
long distance services outside of their local service territories.

         In August 1996, the FCC adopted a comprehensive order (the
"Interconnection Order") to implement policies, rules and procedures regarding
local service competition under the 1996 Act. The Interconnection Order was
appealed by several states, companies and other entities. Additionally, in
September 1996, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued
a temporary stay, pending appeal, of the pricing provisions and the "pick and
choose" rules of the Interconnection Order. The FCC and several other entities
submitted applications to the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Court") to vacate the
stay and implement those provisions of the Interconnection Order. On October 31,
1996, Justice Clarence Thomas denied those applications to vacate the stay.
Those applications have been resubmitted to the Court. Under Court custom, such
requests are typically referred to the full Court for review. Because of the
uncertainty regarding the Interconnection Order, the Company is unable to
predict what effect it might have on local or long distance telecommunications
services competition. Other rulemaking proceedings relating to the 1996 Act are
planned or currently underway by the FCC and could also materially impact the
nature and scope of competition in the telecommunications industry.

         In connection with the Company's provision of intrastate long distance
services, the Company's subsidiary, LCI International Telecom Corp. ("LCIT"),
must maintain certificates of public convenience and necessity from state
regulatory authorities and is generally required to file 


                                       7
<PAGE>   10
tariffs with such authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not experience difficulties in maintaining necessary state authorizations, that
regulators or third parties will not raise material issues with regard to LCIT's
compliance or non-compliance with applicable regulations or that such
difficulties or issues will not adversely affect the Company's business.

         Although the trend in federal and state regulation appears to favor
increased competition, no assurance can be given that changes in current or
future regulations adopted by the FCC or state regulatory bodies or legislative
initiatives will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         Risks Relating to Growth and Expansion Strategy. The Company expects
its future growth to come from internally generated sources, as well as
acquisitions. Internally generated growth will depend in part upon the Company's
ability to expand existing sales channels and hire additional personnel. The
Company's internal customer growth is supported by a variety of sales channels,
including its internal sales force, advertising, telemarketing and independent
sales agents and distributors who are parties to contracts with the Company.
Compensation for sales of such sales agents is typically paid in the form of
ongoing commissions based upon collected revenue attributable to customers
generated by them. A nationwide network of third party sales agents managed by
one vendor continues to be the most successful of the Company's sales agents and
accounted for a significant portion of the Company's residential/small business
revenue and sales growth. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to renew any existing agreements with sales agents or distributors upon
their expiration or termination or negotiate additional agreements on favorable
terms. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to
successfully establish other methods of marketing should it become necessary in
the future.

         The Company expects part of its future growth to come from
acquisitions. Such growth will therefore depend on the Company's ability to
identify suitable acquisition candidates and to finance such acquisitions. The
Company will also be subject to competition for suitable acquisition candidates.
The Company expects to actively explore potential acquisitions and may enter
into discussions from time to time with potential acquisition candidates. There
can be no assurance, however, that any such acquisitions will occur or that any
such acquisitions, if made, would be made in a timely manner. Any acquisitions,
if made, could divert the Company's resources and management and would require
successful integration with the Company's existing network and services.

         The Company is involved in state regulatory proceedings in various
states to secure approval to resell local services which would enable the
Company to provide combined local and long distance services to existing and
prospective customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to compete effectively or profitably in this market.

         The Company provides service to its customers through owned and leased
transmission and distribution facilities. As the volume of the Company's traffic
increases, the Company will need to expand the capacity of its network. The
expansion of the network will require construction of additional network
facilities or negotiations with other telecommunications vendors to lease
network capacity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
negotiate needed capacity additions to the network or that, if negotiated, such
capacity additions will be on terms favorable to the Company.

         Significant Technological Change. The telecommunications industry is
subject to significant changes in technology. While the Company believes that
for the foreseeable future these changes will neither materially affect the
continued use of fiber optic telecommunications networks nor materially 


                                       8
<PAGE>   11
hinder the Company's ability to acquire necessary technologies, the effect of
technological changes on the business of the Company cannot be predicted. Thus,
there can be no assurance that technological developments will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

         Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company is dependent on the active
participation of certain key management and operating personnel, the loss of
whose services could have a material adverse effect of the Company's business.
The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on its
continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Certain of
the Company's key executives are parties to employment agreements with the
Company.

         Holding Company Structure. LCI is a holding company, which conducts
substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries. LCI's principal
assets are the capital stock of its subsidiaries, and it has no independent
means of generating revenues. As a holding company, the Company depends on
dividends and other permitted payments from its subsidiaries to meet its cash
needs. LCI SPC I, a subsidiary of LCI, is subject to certain contractual
restrictions concerning the payment of dividends or making of loans or advances
to LCI. There are, however, no restrictions on the movement of cash among LCI
and its other subsidiaries.

         Influence of Principal Stockholder. As of November 4, 1996, Warburg,
Pincus Capital Company, L.P. ("Warburg") beneficially owned 13.5% of the Common
Stock. As a result of such ownership, Warburg has influence over the election of
the Company's Board of Directors and actions requiring approval by the Company's
stockholders. Additionally, nominees of Warburg currently hold two seats on the
Company's Board of Directors.

         Dividend Policy; Restriction on Payment of Dividends. The Company has
never paid a cash dividend on the Common Stock and does not anticipate paying
any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Further, the
ability of the Company to pay cash dividends is subject to contractual
restrictions contained in the Company's revolving credit facility and other
documents.

         Anti-Takeover Provisions. Certain provisions of the Company's Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be deemed to have anti-takeover
effects and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a stockholder
might consider to be in its best interest. The Company's Board of Directors has
been divided into three classes, each of which serves for staggered three-year
periods. The Company's Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of up to
10,400,000 shares of preferred stock and determine the rights, preferences,
privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such shares of
preferred stock, without any further vote or action by the Company's
stockholders. The Company is also subject to the provisions of Section 203 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In addition, certain
agreements to which the Company is a party, including its revolving credit
facility, stock option plans and employment contracts contain acceleration
provisions in the event of a change of control of the Company.

Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the absence
of any material adverse change in the Company's business and the receipt of

offering of the shares of Common Stock, the offering price and other selling
terms may be changed by the Underwriters.

         The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

         The shares of Common Stock offered hereby are being registered in

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that:

                   (a) a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is
         threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
         action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
         investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such
         corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
         officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the
         request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
         of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may be against
         expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
         in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
         connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that he acted
         in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
         opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
         any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
         his conduct was unlawful;

                   (b) a corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an
         action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
         its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
         permitted unless the Court of Chancery (or the Court in which such suit
         or action was brought) finds, upon application, in view of all of the
         circumstances, that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
         indemnity for such expenses which the court may deem proper;

                   (c) where an officer or director is successful on the merits
         or otherwise in defense of any action referred to above, the
         corporation must indemnify him against the expenses (including
         attorneys' fees) that he actually and reasonably incurred in connection
         therewith;

                   (d) any indemnification set forth above shall be made by the
         corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
         determination that indemnification of the officer, director, employee
         or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
         applicable 


                                      II-1
<PAGE>   19
         standard of conduct set forth above, and such determination shall be
         made (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum
         consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
         proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
         obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
         independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the
         stockholders;

                   (e) the indemnification of any officer or director of a
         corporation continues after such person has ceased to be an officer or
         director and inures to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors
         and administrators;

                   (f) the indemnification provided is not deemed to be 
         exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director may be
         entitled under a corporation's bylaws, by agreement, vote or otherwise;

                   (g) expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an
         officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
         investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid upon receipt of an
         undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
         amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to
         be indemnified by the corporation as described above. Such expenses
         (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may
         be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of
         directors deems appropriate; and

                   (h) a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
         insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
         employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
         request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
         another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
         enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by
         him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether
         or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
         such liability under this section.

         Article X of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation reads as follows:

                  1.   A director of the Corporation shall not be personally
         liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
         breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
         any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
         stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
         involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
         under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for
         any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal
         benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after
         approval by the stockholders of this Article to authorize corporate
         action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of
         directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be
         eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
         General Corporation Law, as so amended.

                  2.   (a)   Each person who was or is made a party or is 
         threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any
         threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
         civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a
         "proceeding") (including an action by or in the right of the
         Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or 


                                      II-2
<PAGE>   20
         was serving as a director or officer of the Corporation (or is or was
         serving at the request of the Corporation in a similar capacity with
         another entity, including employee benefit plans), shall be indemnified
         and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized
         by the Delaware General Corporation Law. This indemnification will
         cover all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
         judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and settlement
         amounts) reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection
         with a proceeding. All such indemnification shall continue as to a
         director or officer who has ceased to be a director or officer and
         shall continue to the benefit of such director's or officer's heirs,
         executors and administrators. Except as provided in paragraph (b)
         hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to
         indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such director or
         officer only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of
         Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred by
         this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to
         be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such
         proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an
         "advancement of expenses"). If the Delaware General Corporation Law
         requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director in his
         capacity as a director or an officer in his capacity as an officer
         shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking
         by such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it is
         ultimately determined by final judicial decision that such director or
         officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this
         Section or otherwise (hereinafter an "undertaking").

                       (b) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not
         paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after receipt of a
         written claim, the director or officer may bring suit against the
         Corporation to recover the unpaid amount. (In the case of a claim for
         advancement of expenses, the applicable period will be twenty days.) If
         successful in any such suit, the director or officer will also be
         entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such suit. In an suit
         brought by the director or officer to enforce a right to
         indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the director or
         officer to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a
         defense that the director or officer has not met the applicable
         standard of conduct under the Delaware General Corporation Law. In any
         suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant
         to the terms of an undertaking, it shall be entitled to recover such
         expenses upon a final adjudication that the director or officer has not
         met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware
         General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Board of Directors
         of the Corporation to determine prior to the commencement of such suit
         that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct
         for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law,
         nor an actual determination by the Board of Directors of the
         Corporation that the director or officer has not met such applicable
         standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the director or
         officer has not met such applicable standard of conduct or, in the case
         of such a suit brought by the director or officer, be a defense to such
         suit. In any suit brought by the director or officer to enforce a right
         hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
         pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the
         director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified or to such
         advancement of expenses under this Section or otherwise shall be on the
         Corporation.

                       (c) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement
         of expenses conferred in this Section will not be exclusive of any
         other right which any person may have or hereafter acquires under any
         statute, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
         by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
         otherwise.

<PAGE>   21
                       (d) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
         expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent
         of the Corporation or other entity against any expense, liability or
         loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
         such person under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

                       (e) The Corporation may, if authorized by the Board of
         Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
         expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the same extent
         as for directors and officers of the Corporation.

         The Company maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy. As nominees of Warburg to the Company's Board of Directors of the
Company, Messrs. Karp and Vogelstein are entitled to indemnification by Warburg
for liabilities incurred in connection with acting on behalf of Warburg.

         Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1) which
provides for the indemnification of the Company, its directors, officers and
controlling persons.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

(a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 


                                      II-4
<PAGE>   22
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the 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.

(b)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (i)   For purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registration pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (ii)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus 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.

(c)      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under item 15 above, 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 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
