Boards and Management Reaffirm Commitment to Strategic Combination

Highlights of Merger Amendments

- Global Crossing has agreed to institute a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million promptly following the close of the merger.

- Key management and inside shareholders of Global Crossing and Frontier have agreed to enter into or to extend their 'lock-up,' and not sell
their shares for at least six months following the completion of the merger. The inside shareholders of Global Crossing also have agreed
to create and implement an orderly disposition program thereafter if they wish to sell.

- The parties are working to meet an expected closing date later this
month.
