ATTENTION KCPL SHAREHOLDERS
PROTECT
YOUR
INVESTMENT.
In the past four year, UtiliCorp has written off
a shocking $120 million in bad investments.
Last year UtiliCorp earned less on its $1.79 billion unregulated
investments than it could have earned in a bank savings account.
UtiliCorp's annualized total return has been only 8.4% since 1992.
Is that the kind of growth strategy UtiliCorp has in store for
KCPL shareholders?
Would you trade your KCPL shares for this kind of investment?
In contrast, Western Resources has delivered an annualized total
return of 12.4% since 1992.
