Simms, 408/456-7885 tsims@worldsaway.com Following are the news announcements from the www.worldsaway.com site Special Announcements May 7, 1999: Letters from K. Hirai, FSBA and from David Andrews, President of inworlds.com, inc. Dear Members: The community services based on WorldsAway, the leading virtual world technology developed by Fujitsu, will become a separate company on May 1, 1999. Mr. David Andrews, who has served as Vice President of the business unit for Fujitsu, will assume presidency of the company when the transaction is completed. Since its founding in 1995, we have invested in not only a company, but also the birth of an entire industry. WorldsAway was truly a pioneering effort. We are convinced that virtual communities and avatars represent a large portion of the future of Internet-based socialization. Fujitsu is proud to have been part of the formation of this industry. We will still continue to be an investor in the company, holding an equity position in the company, and I will continue to serve on the board of directors of the new company. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this transaction, please contact Mr. David Andrews directly. It has been a pleasure having you as our customer, and I hope that you will continue to have a WorldsAway world as part of your internet life.
