The following news release/employee update was issued on April 16, 1997: WESTERN RESOURCES CHALLENGES STRUCTURE OF ADT/TYCO COMBINATION TOPEKA, Kansas, April 16, 1997 (4 pm CDT) -- Western Resources (NYSE:WR) announced today that it has commenced a lawsuit against ADT Limited in the Supreme Court of Bermuda alleging that the structure of Tyco International Ltd.'s proposed acquisition of ADT Limited denies Western Resources and other ADT shareholders their valuable appraisal rights provided under Bermuda law. Such appraisal rights, which give shareholders a right to be paid the fair value of their shares in cash, are valuable in the context of the Tyco transaction because the value of that transaction to ADT shareholders depends on Tyco's stock price, which has fluctuated considerably since announcement of the merger agreement. The lawsuit seeks an order requiring that Tyco's acquisition of ADT be structured to provide appraisal rights to ADT shareholders. - 30 - Western Resources (NYSE:WR) is a full-service, diversified security and energy company with total assets of more than $6 billion. Its utilities, KPL and KGE, operating in Kansas and Oklahoma, provide natural gas service to approximately 650,000 customers and electric service to approximately 600,000 customers.
