Calculation of Filing Fee
Transaction Valuation* Amount of Filing Fee
---------------------- --------------------
$45,059,170 $4,146
* Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee
only, in accordance with Rule 0-11(b)(2) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The amount of the filing fee,
calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) of the Exchange Act,
equals 92/1,000,000 of the transaction valuation. The amount of the
transaction valuation attributable to the shares of CoreComm Limited
common stock equals $43,475,837, calculated by adding (a) the product
of (1) $0.0945, the average of the high and low sale prices per share
of CoreComm Limited common stock on February 5, 2002, as reported by
the Nasdaq National Market times (2) 151,723,284 shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock (including shares issuable pursuant to the
exercise of CoreComm Limited warrants) proposed, as of February 8,
2002, to be acquired by CoreComm Holdco, Inc. pursuant to the
exchange offers plus (b) the product of (1) $0.065, the average of
the high and low sale prices per share of CoreComm Limited common
stock on May 20, 2002, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market
times (2) 448,276,716, the maximum additional nuymber of shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock, proposed, as of May 20, 2002, to be
acquired by CoreComm Holdco, Inc. pursuant to the exchange offers.
The aggregate principal amount of the 6% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2006 of CoreComm Limited sought for exchange equals
$4,750,000. Under Rule 0-11(a)(4) of the Exchange Act, because there
is no market for the 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 of
CoreComm Limited and because CoreComm Limited has an accumulated
capital deficit, only one third of such amount, or $1,583,333, is
considered to be the transaction valuation for purposes of
calculating the filing fee, resulting in a total transaction
valuation of $45,059,170.
[X] Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Rule
0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was
previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CORECOMM LIMITED AND CORECOMM HOLDCO ANNOUNCE
EXTENSION OF EXPIRATION DATE FOR EXCHANGE OFFERS
New York, New York (June 24, 2002) - CoreComm Limited (Nasdaq:
COMM) and its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary CoreComm Holdco, Inc.
announced today the extension of the expiration date of the registered
public exchange offers by CoreComm Holdco until 5:00 P.M., New York City
time, on June 26, 2002, unless CoreComm Holdco terminates the exchange
offers or extends the expiration date. The exchange offers were previously
scheduled to expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 21, 2002.
CoreComm Holdco is extending the registered public exchange offers because
it is still in the process of addressing comments received from the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Form S-4 previously
filed in connection with the exchange offers.
In the exchange offers, the holders of CoreComm Limited securities
are being asked to tender: (1) each share of CoreComm Limited common stock
they hold for 1/38.9 of a share of common stock of CoreComm Holdco (subject
to rounding); and (2) each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of CoreComm
Limited's 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes they hold, for 9.1047 shares of
common stock of CoreComm Holdco (subject to rounding) and $30 in cash.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the
exchange offers, has advised CoreComm Holdco that 102,814,934 shares of
CoreComm Limited common stock (approximately 73% of the outstanding shares)
and $392,000 aggregate principal amount of CoreComm Limited's 6%
Convertible Subordinated Notes (approximately 8% of the outstanding
principal amount not held by CoreComm Holdco) have been tendered and not
withdrawn as of 4:30 P.M., New York City time, on June 21, 2002, in
response to the exchange offers. The exchange offers are subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the preliminary prospectus, dated June
13, 2002, and the related letters of transmittal, which constitute the
exchange offers. Investors are encouraged to read the information regarding
the exchange offers at the end of this release, which describes where you
can get more information.
*******
The foregoing reference to the exchange offers shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor
shall there be any sale of shares of common stock of CoreComm Holdco in any
state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
Investors and security holders are urged to read the following documents
(including amendments that may be made to them), regarding the exchange
offers because they contain important information:
- CoreComm Holdco's preliminary prospectus, prospectus
supplements and final prospectus;
- CoreComm Holdco's registration statement on Form S-4,
containing such documents and other information; and
- CoreComm Holdco's Schedule TO.
These documents and amendments and supplements to these documents
have been and will continue to be filed, as they may be amended and
supplemented, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. When these and
other documents are filed with the SEC, they may be obtained free at the
SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. You may also obtain for free each of these
documents (when available) from CoreComm Holdco by directing your request
