Institutional Investors Urged to Consider Options on WorldCom Legal Claims Before Feb. 20, 2004 Court Deadline Friday January 9, 8:01 am ET
ATLANTA, and INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The legal team of Page Perry, LLC and Maddox Hargett & Caruso, P.C. and associated counsel are advising institutional investor clients who currently hold or formerly held WorldCom and MCI shares (OTC: WCOEQ.PK - News, MCWEQ.PK - News, MCIAV.PK - News) to carefully consider whether they should opt out of a class action lawsuit pending in New York federal court. The Court requires WorldCom and MCI shareholders covered by the class action (Case 02 Civ. 3288 DLC, Southern District of New York) to return opt-out forms by February 20, 2004 if they intend to pursue individual claims against the defendants, including Salomon Smith Barney, now operating as the Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C - News) unit Citigroup Global Markets, and other investment banks.
Collectively, Page Perry, LLC, Maddox Hargett & Caruso, P.C., and associated counsel represent investors with tens of millions of dollars in WorldCom holdings.

Mr. Page also serves on that committee. Each of their law firms has obtained securities verdicts or settlements in excess of $100 million.
The law firms are offering to consult with institutional WorldCom investors and/or their legal counsel regarding their options.
According to J. Boyd Page, Esq., of Page Perry, LLC, "Former and current WorldCom and MCI shareholders should carefully consider their options. In our opinion, certain institutional investors may be better served by pursuing individual claims and opting out of the class action."
