SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 3, 2000

American TeleSource International Inc. (AMEX:AI) ("ATSI") announced today that its Board of Directors has established a Record Date of July 14, 2000 for the distribution of approximately 27% of ATSI's ownership in GlobalSCAPE, its wholly owned Internet subsidiary, to ATSI's stockholders.

ATSI stockholders will receive a portion of ATSI's 12,920,000 share ownership in GlobalSCAPE via a distribution made pro rata one share of GlobalSCAPE Common Stock for each twenty shares of ATSI Common Stock held as of the July 14, 2000 Record Date. As normal, the SEC has provided comments to GlobalSCAPE's Form 10 registration statement. The Company anticipates making the distribution as soon as practical after the Record Date and the addressing of the SEC comments.

Although a Form 10 registration statement has been filed in connection with the shares to be issued in the distribution, GlobalSCAPE's bylaws contain provisions restricting the sale of the distributed shares. ATSI does not currently intend to list the GlobalSCAPE shares for trading on an exchange or automatic quotation system.

H. Douglas Saathoff, ATSI's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "This distribution will give our stockholders an opportunity to receive direct ownership in GlobalSCAPE at a lower tax basis, and enhances their ability to participate directly in any future successes that GlobalSCAPE may enjoy in the public or private markets. Stockholders in ATSI will also benefit from any future successes that GlobalSCAPE may enjoy through ATSI's retained ownership position in GlobalSCAPE."
