Cusip No. 87924H102
 
         As announced by the Issuer in a Press Release dated July 13, 1998, TCI,
through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has submitted a proposal to the Issuer for
the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock not
beneficially owned by TCI. Under the proposal, TINTA's stockholders would
receive, in a merger transaction, for each share of Series A Common Stock owned
by them, 0.58 of a share of TCI Series A Liberty Media Group Common Stock, $1.00
par value. TCI and the Issuer are currently negotiating a definitive merger
agreement.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, TCI may determine to change its proposal
to acquire all outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock not beneficially
owned by TCI. In determining any change to its future course of action, TCI will
take into consideration various factors, such as the Issuer's business and
prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, other business
opportunities available to TCI, developments with respect to the business of
TCI, and general economic and stock market conditions, including, but not
limited to, the market price of the Series A Common Stock. TCI reserves the
right, depending on other relevant factors, to change its intention with respect
to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.
