***Signature of Reporting Person Date
* Penton had the right to acquire these shares pursuant to a Tender, Voting and
Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Alan M. Meckler, Mecklermedia
Corporation and Internet World Media, Inc. When Internet World Media, Inc.
purchased these shares, the option expired in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement.
** Internet World Media, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Penton and the owner of
98.6% of all the outstanding stock of Mecklermedia Corporation, merged
itself with and into Mecklemedia Corporation, with Mecklermedia Corporation
continuing as the surviving corporation and being renamed Internet World
Media, Inc. Pursuant to the merger, each of the 100 shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share, of Internet World Media, Inc. issued and
outstanding immediately before the effective time of the merger now
represents one validly issued, fully paid nonassessable share of common
stock, par value $.01 per share of the surviving corporation. Following the
merger, the common stock of Mecklemedia Corporation was deregistered by
filing a Form 15.
