split of the FON Common Stock in the 1999 second quarter, leaving 5,274,093
shares of FON Common Stock. The two-for-one split of the FON Common Stock

of PCS Common Stock were issued before the two-for-one split of the PCS Common
Stock in the 2000 first quarter, leaving 874,407 shares of PCS Common Stock. The
