RCC ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT OF
PARTNERSHIP LITIGATION
ROSEVILLE, CA - Roseville Communications Company, the parent company of
Roseville Telephone Company ("RTC"), announced today that RTC has settled its
ongoing dispute with AirTouch Cellular regarding the ownership and operation of
Personal Communications Services ("PCS") licenses by RTC's corporate affiliate
RCS Wireless. AirTouch Cellular is the general partner of Sacramento-Valley
Limited Partnership, a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),
which provides cellular telephone service in portions of Northern California
and Nevada. RTC owns a 23.472% limited partnership interest in the Partnership.
Beginning in July 1998, there were a series of communications between various
partners regarding the ownership by the partners' affiliates of PCS licenses
and whether such ownership caused the partners to be in violation of the
Partnership Agreement. In March 1999, RTC filed an action against AirTouch in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California
requesting declaratory and injunctive relief and other remedies, to which
AirTouch answered and filed counterclaims against RTC.
To resolve the dispute and related litigation, all of the partners of SVLP have
executed an amendment to the Partnership Agreement which provides generally
that RCS Wireless can continue to own and operate the PCS licenses without
causing RTC to be in violation of the Partnership Agreement, subject to the
understanding that RTC will have restricted access to the Partnership's
competitively sensitive information. Brian Strom, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Roseville Communications Company commented: "We are glad
after nearly two years of discussions and litigation to have this matter behind
us so that we can focus our attention exclusively on the continuing growth and
development of all of the Company's operations."
