As KCPL shareholders, employees and retirees have the
opportunity to help determine the company's future. You are
being asked to participate in that decision by voting your proxy
as soon as possible and before the upcoming board meeting
scheduled for May 22.
As a shareholder, you should have received a white proxy
card from KCPL through the mail. In fact, you should have
received two white proxy cards by now. The proxy card asks you
to vote on five separate issues. To vote FOR the merger with
UtiliCorp United, just mark the FOR box. After you sign and date
the card, return it in the enclosed envelope.
The proxy process can be confusing, especially in light of
Western Resources' attempt to derail the KCPL/UCU merger.
Remember to read your proxy card carefully before voting.
Answers to some of your commonly asked questions about
voting your proxy will be in the Merger Update icon and the
upcoming issue of LightLines.
----------
If your white KCPL proxy card is still stilling on the
kitchen table, pick it up and mail it today. Just mark your vote
on the five items and mail it in the enclosed envelope.
Your vote counts. Return your proxy today!
----------
Your vote counts! Remember to return your proxy before the
shareholders' meeting scheduled for May 22.

VOTING YOUR PROXY
One of the most important things you can do as a KCPL shareholder
is to exercise your right to vote your shares each year.
There's a greater emphasis on voting this year because of the
proposed merger between KCPL and UtiliCorp United. Your vote is
especially important now because of Western Resources' attempt to
overtake KCPL. Please return your marked and signed proxy as
soon as possible and before the upcoming shareholders' meeting
scheduled for May 22.
It's easy to vote, and it just takes a few minutes.
As a shareholder, you should have received a WHITE proxy card
from KCPL through the mail. In fact, by now you may have
received two WHITE cards. The proxy card asks you to vote on
five separate issues, including the merger with UtiliCorp. To
vote "FOR" an issue, just mark the "FOR" box. After you sign and
date the card, return it in the enclosed envelope.
You will receive several proxy cards before the board meeting.
The proxy with the date closest to the date of the shareholders'
meeting will be used as your final vote. Please read your proxy
carefully and return your vote before the May 22 deadline.
Some of your commonly-asked questions about voting your proxy are
answered in the Merger Update icon in the CorpInfo group of
Windows and the May 8 edition of the Lightlines.
