IMPORTANT REMINDER
DEAR STOCKHOLDER:
Our records show that your proxy has not yet been received for the Special
Meeting to be held on Thursday, January 21, 1999. NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU
OWN, YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.
At the Special Meeting, you are being asked to consider and vote upon three
proposals which General Magic's Board of Directors feels are important to the
future of the Company. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the
proposals.
The proposals are explained in detail in the Proxy Statement previously sent to
you. If you need another copy or have any questions about how to vote your
shares, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (800) 322-2885 Toll-free or
(212) 929-5500 Collect.
IN PARTICULAR, IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN A FAVORABLE VOTE ON PROPOSAL 3, the Fixed
Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred will automatically be reduced to
$6.00 per share, instead of $10.00 per share as provided in Proposal 3, which
may result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Series C Preferred may be converted. In addition, if Proposal 3 is not approved,
we will not be able to effect any acquisition of technology or businesses using
our Common Stock without potentially triggering additional reductions in the
Fixed Conversion Price. A FAILURE TO VOTE ON PROPOSAL 3 IS THE SAME AS A NO
VOTE!
The Board of Directors believes that all of the Proposals described in the Proxy
Statement are in the best interests of our stockholders.
We urge you to vote TODAY in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3.
TIME IS SHORT. EVEN IF YOU EXPECT TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING, PLEASE TAKE THE
TIME TODAY TO SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED DUPLICATE PROXY IN THE POSTAGE
PAID ENVELOPE.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
/s/ STEVEN MARKMAN
STEVEN MARKMAN
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President
