Regarding Forward Looking Statements </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This press release contains or incorporates a number of &#147;forward-looking statements&#148;
within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based on current expectations, and are not strictly historical statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as &#147;if,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;future,&#148; &#147;forward,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148;
&#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;opportunity,&#148; &#147;goal,&#148; &#147;objective,&#148; &#147;growth,&#148; &#147;outcome,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;strategy,&#148; &#147;provide,&#148;

and uncertainties and are not guarantees of performance or results, or of the creation of shareholder value, although they are based on our current plans or assessments which we believe to be reasonable as of the date hereof. Factors or risks that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results are more fully described in our annual report, quarterly reports or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available through our website at
www.ptgi.com. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also affect our business, financial condition and results. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that any of the estimated or projected results will be realized. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date hereof. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While
we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. </FONT></P>
