To: Investors and shareholders From: Melissa Thompson, MeriStar Subject: Conversion of MeriStar fax distribution
to e-mail Date: October 31, 2000
During the last few years, technology has significantly changed the way people send and receive information. Accessibility
to information is nearly instantaneous through a variety of channels, including computers, cell phones, pagers
and palm pilots. In the corporate world, e-mail has now eclipsed blast faxes as the preferred method of distribution.
Starting with the distribution of our third quarter earnings release on November 6, we will be distributing all
MeriStar Hospitality and MeriStar Hotels & Resorts press releases and notices by e-mail, rather than by fax.
If you wish to continue receiving information about the MeriStar companies, please list your e-mail address in
the space below and fax a copy of this notice to Daly Gray at (703) 435-6297 before November 6, or e-mail the information
to timothy@dalygray.com. If you do not have access to a computer and an e-mail address, please call Lora Grant
at MeriStar, (202) 295-2217, to make other arrangements.
