Article Abstract:

Shareholders are anticipated to also give theirs at the shareholder's meetings of both firms in fall 1998. Comnet presently holds 81.2% stake in Group 1. If the merger goes through, Comnent common stock will be issued to Group 1's minority shareholders in exchange for their Group 1 common stock.
