Exhibit 99.2
PATHNET, INC.
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇
August 5, 1998
To the Holders of Registrable Securities:
Reference is made to the Warrant Registration Rights Agreement, dated
as of April 8, 1998, by and among Pathnet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇
Incorporated, Bear, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Inc., TD Securities (USA) Inc. and Salomon
Brothers Inc (collectively the "Initial Purchasers") and the other signatories
thereto, as amended and supplemented to date (the "Agreement"). Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Agreement.
On May 5, 1998, the Company notified Holders of Registrable Securities
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement that it intended to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 in order
to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a public offering (the
"Offering") of shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"). Such Registration Statement has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission but has not yet been declared effective.
Pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement, notwithstanding the use by
the Company of its reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter of the
proposed Offering (a) to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in the Offering to be included in the Registration Statement on the
same terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock included therein, and
(b) to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, the managing
underwriter of the proposed Offering has informed the Company and, by the
attached copy of its letter, hereby notifies you, that in its opinion the total
number of Registrable Securities which the Company intends to include in the
Offering is such that participation in the Offering by Holders of Registrable
Securities would materially and adversely affect the success of the Offering,
including the price at which the Common Stock could be sold. As a result of this
determination, the Company has decided not to include any Registrable
Securities, including those of Holders who responded to the Company's May 5,
1998 notice, in the Offering.
