REGARDING: QUIXTAR OWNERSHIP

Hello everybody, this is Dave VanAndel with a very important message going out to all Leadership. We just finished up a historic week of ADA Board meetings here in Grand Rapids. Once again, your Board worked tirelessly on your behalf. Great progress was made on many of the details for both Quixtar and the IMC model--independent business owner, member and client.

One of the most important outcomes of this week involves the positioning of Quixtar. I am please to announce that Quixtar, Incorporated is a Delaware corporation, owned by the DeVos and Van Andel families. Quixtar, Inc. is a sister company to Amway Corporation. It will not be owned by Amway, but rather by our two families. It will be run by the second generation of DeVos and Van Andel's. Quixtar is a new business model designed specifically for the Internet--a new way to reach your goals in the new millennium.

On behalf of both families let me say that I am once again, proud of the ADA Board for their vision and leadership. Yesterday, the Executive Committee signed a historic document--The Manifesto For the New Millennium. This Manifesto reaffirms the partnership of Amway, Quixtar and your Board. It emphasizes the importance of opportunities for all individuals in North America to be touched by our business in the new millennium, whether as a client, a member or as an independent business owner. It also expresses the belief of the Board that the Quixtar name and reputation be protected through whatever rules or enforcement actions are necessary.

We stand at the dawn of a new millennium with opportunity like never before. The Amway opportunity has thrived for 40 years here and around the world. And now in North America we are creating an entirely new business and an entirely new business model. Quixtar will change our business, our industry and the way business is done on the Internet forever!

Let me extend my congratulations to all of you and especially to the members of your ADA Board. Your Board officers, President Paul Miller, Vice President Billy Florence and Secretary/Treasurer Jody
Victor, made history this week and I was proud to work with them to
secure the future of our business for generations to come. Thanks a lot everybody, we will talk to you again soon.
