the Bank as Trustee of the Grey Advertising Inc. Profit
Sharing ESOP Plan (the Plan) with respect to which the
bank disclaims beneficial ownership.
The Plan states that each Plan participant shall have
the right to direct the manner in which shares of
common stock shall be voted at all stockholders meetings.
The Department of Labor has expressed the view that,
under certain circumstaances, ERISA may require the
Trustee to vote shares which are not allocated to
participants accounts and unvoted shares. Since, in the
view of the Bank and Bankers Trust New York Corporation,
such voting power is merely a residual power based upon
the occurrence of an unlikely contingency, and is not a
sole or shares power to vote the securities, the Bank
and Bankers Trust New York Corporation hereby disclaim
beneficial ownership of such securities.
(b) PERCENT OF CLASS:
The stock described in Item 4(a) above as to which the Bank
acknowledges beneficial ownership constitues 0.1% of the
Issuer s outstanding Common Stock. The stock as to which
the Bank disclaims beneficial ownership constitutes 5.8% of
the Issuer's outstanding stock.
