According to a summary notice of settlement of a class action lawsuit dated June 15 2001, a hearing will be held in a case captioned Russell, et al. v. Spanlink Communications, Inc., et al., Civil File No.00-CV-945 MJD/JGL, on Friday, September 7, 2001, at 9:00 a.m., before the Honorable Michael J.

The Court may adjourn the hearing without further notice.

The original lawsuit against Spanlink, certain of its officers and directors, and Spanlink Acquisition Corp. ("SA Corp."), for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), arises out of and is based on an offer by SA Corp. to purchase the outstanding shares of Spanlink (the "Tender Offer"), which Tender Offer was made pursuant to a Schedule to Tender Offer Statement under Section 14(d)(1) or Section 13(e)(1) of the Exchange Act (the "Schedule"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2000. The Tender Offer was for $10.50 per share. If SA Corp. acquired sufficient shares, after the Tender Offer, it intended to merge with Spanlink, with Spanlink as the surviving entity. The Complaint alleges that the Schedule, on which investors relied in deciding whether to tender their shares and pursuant to which such shares of Spanlink stock were tendered, contained materially false and misleading information about Spanlink and failed to state facts necessary to make the statements that were made not false and misleading, in violation of section 14(e) of the Exchange Act.
