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
number 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 statement
number or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
---------------------
CORECOMM LIMITED AND CORECOMM HOLDCO ANNOUNCE
EXTENSION OF EXPIRATION DATE FOR EXCHANGE OFFERS
New York, New York (June 12, 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 21,
2002, unless CoreComm Holdco terminates the exchange offers or extends the
expiration date. The exchange offers were previously scheduled to expire at
midnight, New York City time, on June 12, 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 102,487,350 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 12, 2002, in response to the exchange
offers. The exchange offers are subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the preliminary prospectus, dated May 15, 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 to
