Today, ARA is a private company controlled and largely owned by the same people who have been running it for years -- a group of about 65 managers. This change in ownership can have only a positive effect on the quality of service we provide to you and on our ability to continue to meet your needs. One of our basic objectives was to keep ARA the same strong, dependable; innovative and dynamic company that you have known over the years. The same people who have served you in the past are the same people who are serving you now. The change in ownership was triggered last summer when ARA received an unsolicited and undesirable offer of a leveraged buyout by a group of outsiders. The media coverage that this proposal generated produced a significant degree of uncertainty and anxiety among some of our clients, customers and our employees. We conducted a thorough review of the various means of preventing a hostile takeover and concluded the only viable one for us was a manage- ment buyout. There are several aspects of this that should be of interest to you as a valued client. First, is the motivation and dedication of ARA's management and employees. The management ownership group, one of the largest ever, is the same group who has been managing the company. Each owner - manager now has a significant personal investment and a strong personal interest in maintaining or even improving on our high standards of quality service. Additionally, a large number of employees will, for the first time, have the opportunity for a personal stake in the growth and success of the company through participation in ARA's Savings/Retirement plans. (2) Second, is the well-established financial stability of ARA. We were able to very quickly arrange the necessary financing from a group of banks. And the two lead banks, Chemical and Morgan Guaranty Trust, not only loaned us money but also invested in the company. We are confident, a sentiment apparently shared by our bankers, that we will continue to grow as well as meet all obligations placed upon us by the financing of the management acquisition. In summary, let me again assure you that the change in ownership will make ARA a better company both short and long term. We will maintain -- or, if possible, improve upon -- the level of service you have come to expect of us. Our management team and our employees completely understand that the growth of ARA, past and future, is based on providing quality service. You can be sure that this commitment will never change. Sincerely, Hello
