- I'm not going to make a habit of form-lettering people. But since I've
- been out of the action for a week, I thought a quick status-report might
- be appreciated.

- Where Things Stand 7-10-96
-
- As some of you know, I've been on vacation for the better part of the
- past week, so I've missed a lot of excitement and haven't been responding
- to mail and news outbreaks. So here's an encapsulated version of the
- answers to the burning questions of the hour...
-
- Q1. Does VIScorp own the Amiga yet?
-
- A1. Not yet. The sale has been agreed to by VIScorp CEO Bill Buck and
- Escom CEO Helmut Jost, but the agreement is undergoing final review by
- the boards of directors of both companies. When this can be completed,
- VIScorp will own the Amiga.
-
- Q2. Just where do things stand between VIScorp and Escom now that Escom's
- financial situation is changing?
-
- A2. VIScorp's intentions remain unchanged. There is still an agreement
- in place to purchase Amiga Technologies and the Amiga intellectual
- property from Escom. VIScorp CEO Bill Buck is presently in Germany,
- continuing the final negotiations. The terms of payment are being
- renegotiated as a result of the Escom announcements, but the deal is
- still proceeding. VIScorp is committed to obtaining the Amiga.
-
- Q3. Who can I talk to at VIScorp and get my Amiga-related questions
- answered?
-
- A3. General corporate inquiries should be directed to Florine Radulovic,
- Director of Communications at VIScorp. Ms. Radulovic is reachable at
- fradulovic@aol.com. For Amiga-specific questions, you can contact the
- following VIScorp staff members:
