1/ General Instrument Corporation ("General Instrument") is the registered holder of 700,000 shares of Common Stock and a currently exercisable warrant to purchase an additional 233,334 shares of Common Stock. General Instrument also holds warrants to purchase an additional 466,666 shares of Common Stock, which are not currently exercisable.
On January 5, 2000, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the "Agreement and Plan of Merger"), dated September 14, 1999, General Instrument merged with and into Lucerne Acquisition Corp. ("Lucerne"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger the separate corporate existence of Lucerne ceased and General Instrument continued as the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of General Instrument common stock was exchanged for 0.575 shares of Motorola common stock, with cash in lieu of any fractional Motorola shares that former General Instrument stockholders would have otherwise received. As a result of the Merger, General Instrument became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola and, therefore, Motorola became the sole beneficial owner of the 933,334 shares of Common Stock (including the 233,334 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant) held by General Instrument, with the sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares. Consequently, Motorola has assumed the reporting obligations with respect to such shares, and no statements on Schedule 13G or amendments will be filed by General Instrument with respect to such shares.

aber gerne doch,

das obige Filing besagt nichts anderes, als daß die Aktien, die bisher von General Instruments gehalten wurden, nun Motorola gehören, weil die GI im letzten Jahr übernommen haben. Also nur ein Wechsel der Besitzer, mehr nicht. Kein Grund zur Sorge also.
