PLEASE NOTE THAT MINORITY STOCK OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN PATHFINDER COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION ('PATHFINDER') DO NOT REPRESENT ATTRIBUTABLE INTERESTS UNDER THE COMMISSION'S CURRENT RULES AND POLICIES, AND AS SUCH, ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE DISCLOSED IN THIS APPLICATION. AS YOU KNOW, THE COMMISSION, IN ITS MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER ON RECONSIDERATION, FCC 00-438, 41-44 (JANUARY 19, 2001) (THE 'MO&O'), ELIMINATED THE 'SINGLE MAJORITY' SHAREHOLDER EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 73.3555, NOTE 2(B) OF ITS RULES, BUT GRANDFATHERED ANY MINORITY INTERESTS IN A COMPANY WITH A SINGLE MAJORITY
SHAREHOLDER THAT WERE ACQUIRED PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION DATE OF THE MO&O.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE COMMISSION HAS SUSPENDED THE ELIMINATION OF THE SINGLE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER EXEMPTION PENDING RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUES OUTLINED IN THE FURTHER NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING, FCC 01-263 (SEPTEMBER 21, 2001). SEE ORDER, FCC 01-353, 1 (DECEMBER 14, 2001). AS A RESULT OF THESE ACTIONS, THE MINORITY STOCK OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN PATHFINDER ARE NOT ATTRIBUTABLE UNDER THE COMMISSION'S CURRENT RULES AND POLICIES. PATHFINDER HAS, HOWEVER, PROVIDED THE PERCENTAGE OF VOTES AND THE PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL ASSETS (DEBT PLUS EQUITY) FOR EACH OFFICER, DIRECTOR AND REPORTABLE SHAREHOLDER OF PATHFINDER AS OF AUGUST 7, 2002.
