      IBOAI Board Reacts to Alticor Transition Plans
                    
                          Alticor       Inc., parent company of Quixtar Inc., has announced major       business transformation plans. Alticor Inc. has confirmed       the transformation with various media including the       Associated Press (AP). According to the AP story,       “Direct-sales giant Alticor Inc. will phase out its Quixtar       Inc. label during the next 1 1/2 to two years and rebuild       its Amway Corp. brand in the United States and Canada.” The       story cites a memo from company Chairman Steve Van Andel and       President Doug DeVos distributed to U.S. employees last       week, which explained: “The realities of a crowded and       competitive global marketplace have made us realize that we       need to 'fly one flag' to put significant resources behind       establishing one opportunity brand wherever we do business.       That brand will be Amway, in North America and all over the       world."
                    
                          The       timing of this business transformation is projected to take       place within the next 18-24 months.

                          You       should know this news came as a shock to us, too, in the       form of a surprise announcement at a Founders Council       meeting a few days ago. We were not consulted ahead of time       and were not part of the decision. We are sorting through       the details and trying to figure out how this affects all of       our businesses.
