The Alert service is used to notify subscribers of special situations
concerning corporate issuers of securities ISI has recommended. Also shown are call or
tender announcements that require action before the next newsletter is published. Alerts
could also be triggered for any other items that ISI thinks may be of special interest to
subscribers. Note:The E-mail Investor Alert is identical to the Investor Alert except
subscribers to this extra service are notified immediately whenever an alert is posted to
the web site.
