beneficiaries of the following WorldCom retirement plans at any time
from January 3, 2000 to the present:

                  The WorldCom, Inc. 401(k) Salary Savings Plan;

                  The MCI Communications Corporation 401(k) Plan
                  (formerly known as MCI Communications 401(k) Plan
                  for Exempt Employees);

                  The Western Union International, Inc. 401(k) Plan
                  for Collectively Bargained Employees;

                  The Skytel Communications, Inc. Employee Retirement
                  Plan and Trust; and

                  The IDB Communications Group, Inc. 401(k) Savings
                  and Retirement Plan ("Plans").

    The complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi, alleges that WorldCom, its
former chief executive officer Bernard J. Ebbers, its former chief
financial officer Scott D. Sullivan and other Plan fiduciaries
breached their fiduciary duties under the federal ERISA statute by,
among other things, concealing from Plan participants and
beneficiaries material information with respect to WorldCom's
business, financial results and operations. Stull, Stull & Brody may
amend the complaint as further information becomes available
concerning the materially inaccurate financial reporting recently
acknowledged by current management of WorldCom.
