FutureLink Symbol Temporarily ``FLNKD''; 1 for 5 Reverse Split Effective Opening of Trading, June 1, 1999.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 1999--

FutureLink has completed the steps to proceed with its 1 for 5 reverse stock split previously announced on May 14, 1999. The NASD has accepted the company's filings and has assigned FutureLink's common stock the temporary symbol of "FLNKD" (previously "FLNK") (FLNKD\OTC BB) to denote the post-reverse split stock. FutureLink's common stock will trade on a post-reverse split basis (one new share representing five previous shares) at the opening of trading on June 1, 1999.

In the company's previous press release of May 14, 1999, FutureLink announced that it intended to effect a reverse stock split to be effective June 1, 1999. With all necessary shareholder and director approvals, the company has notified all interested parties, including its Transfer Agent, General Securities Transfer Agency of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the NASD and the Depository Trust Company (DTC), the largest registered shareholder, which will instruct brokerages and market makers of this reverse split.

With the completion of this 1 for 5 reverse stock split, FutureLink's revised share structure will have just over 30 million shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis with a currently publicly traded float of approximately 4 million shares.

FutureLink's outstanding share certificates will be converted by its Transfer Agent as they are traded. Any registered shareholder not currently intending to trade their shares and wishing to update their share certificate is encouraged

to contact the company's Transfer Agent directly. Any shareholder holding FutureLink stock through a broker is encouraged to work through the broker to update their shares.

Shareholders holding shares indivisible by five prior to the reverse split will receive cash compensation, at $1.365 per pre-reverse split share, for such shares. For example, if a shareholder held 1234 shares prior to the reverse split, that shareholder would receive 246 post-reverse split shares plus cash payment of $5.46 for the 4 pre-reverse split shares that cannot be divided by 5. However, as agreed between the company and the SEC, any shareholder holding less than one whole share following this reverse split will be entitled to obtain a revised share certificate for 1 complete share of common stock.

Any questions regarding the reverse split can be directed to FutureLink's investor relations representative, Troy Cleland, at [phone] or by e-mail at [e-mail].
