ATTENTION KCPL SHAREOWNERS:
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT A 191% PAY RAISE?
That's the amount of pay raise KCPL Chairman Drue Jennings could get if his
proposed merger with UtiliCorp goes through.* His compensation will be as
high as $1,670,000. And his salary can never be reduced.
If Mr. Jennings leaves KCPL following the merger, his employment contract
could provide him with a severance payment up to $8,350,000...plus benefits.
Now ask yourself why KCPL management refuses to accept Western Resources'
offer of $31 per share** and a projected dividend up to 27% higher than the
projected UtiliCorp/KCPL dividend of $1.85*** even though every independent
market analyst who has published an opinion says that the Western Resources
offer is best for shareowners.
That's not all!
KCPL also ways you to approve an executive stock plan, which sets aside more
than $240,000,000 worth of stock for UtiliCorp/KCPL senior executives, based
on the July 18, 1996, KCPL closing stock price. A senior executive can get up
to $16,000,000 worth (600,000 shares) of stock per year.
They are also asking for an executive bonus plan that allows cash bonuses to
senior executives of up to $3,000,000 per person per year.
NOW...Ask yourself why two out of the three issues KCPL shareowners are voting
on concern management compensation.
WHO REALLY BENEFITS?
Vote AGAINST the Proposed Merger With UtiliCorp. Vote No On The GOLD PROXY
CARD.

at the time of closing.
***Based on Western Resources' projected post-merger 1998 annual dividend rate
