  On June 9, 2002, PeoplePC Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PeoplePC"), EarthLink, Inc., a Delaware corporation
  ("EarthLink"), and EL Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of EarthLink ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Offer Agreement (the "Offer Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Agreement and
  subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, EarthLink will offer cash of $0.0171 in exchange for each outstanding share of common stock of PeoplePC for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10 million. Pre-closing adjustments to
  the purchase price could raise the price per share to as much as $0.0245 per share, or approximately $14.3 million in total. Conditions of the tender offer include, among other things, that a majority of the PeoplePC common stock be tendered before
  the offer expires. Any shares not acquired in the tender offer would be acquired in a subsequent merger transaction at the final tender offer price. In addition, officers, directors, and certain stockholders of PeoplePC and their affiliates holding
  approximately 84 percent of PeoplePC's outstanding shares of common stock have entered into a Stockholder Agreement (a "Stockholder Agreement") with Earthlink and Merger Sub to irrevocably commit to tender their shares in the
  transaction.
  The foregoing description of
  the Offer Agreement, the Stockholder Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Offer Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, both of which are filed

  A copy of the press release issued by

  The information contained in this current report does not constitute an offer to purchase shares of PeoplePC Inc. or a solicitation/recommendation statement under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
  Commission.
  EarthLink expects to commence the tender offer within 10 calendar days from the date of the Offer
  Agreement. Once the tender is commenced, EarthLink will mail offering materials to PeoplePC shareholders, and will file all necessary information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
  Investors are urges to read EarthLink's and PeoplePC's tender offer statement and other relevant documents regarding the tender offer when they become available
  because they will contain important information related to EarthLink, PeoplePC and the transaction.
  Investors
  will be able to obtain these documents, when they become available, as well as other documents filed by EarthLink and PeoplePC, through the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site,
