B: Interliant CEO Confirms Company's Financial Position PURCHASE, N.Y., Mar 21, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Herb Hribar, chief executive officer of Interliant, Inc. (NASDAQ: INIT), a leading application service provider, said today that an article in the March 20 edition of the business and financial weekly Barron's is misleading as it does not take into account the company's current cash position. The publication based its article on information about Interliant that has been rendered obsolete by recent company financing, stated Mr. Hribar. Mr. Hribar further stated, "Barron's formed its conclusions based on December 31, 1999 information. Since then, Interliant has raised over $190 million through the sale of convertible subordinated notes and investments from strategic partners. The caliber of our strategic partners, including Dell, BMC Software, Network Solutions and Microsoft along with the extent of our new financial resources, attests to the strength of Interliant both financially and as a competitor in dynamic, fast-growing markets."
