All, Just received mail. To All Employees: Today, we continue our momentum toward the MCI WorldCom merger with the clearance by the European Commission. We expect the remaining regulatory approvals in the near future and expect to close the merger this summer, as anticipated. Our statement on EC approval is below. Thank you again for your continued support and commitment to our business as we move to become MCI WorldCom. Bert ...................................................................... WorldCom and MCI Statement on European Commission Approval Jackson, MS and Washington, D.C. -- July 8, 1998 -- WorldCom and MCI welcome today's decision by the European Commission granting anti- trust clearance for the MCI WorldCom merger conditioned upon the sale of MCI's Internet business. In light of the close cooperation between the Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), WorldCom and MCI look forward to the DoJ completing its review shortly. WorldCom and MCI anticipate closing the merger this summer, following final regulatory approval by the Federal Communications Commission. Good luck to all
