Reeves Telecom Limited Partnership Responds to 'Mini-Tender' Offer for Its Limited Partnership Units


GLEN HEAD, N.Y., Jan. 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- On December 29, 2005, Reeves Telecom Limited Partnership received notification of an unsolicited mini-tender offer being made by Peachtree Partners, an Arizona-based partnership controlled by Messrs. Ira Gaines and Barry Zemel, to purchase up to 4.9% of the partnership units (including those partnership units Peachtree already owns) at a price of $0.10 cash per unit, less a one-time administrative fee of $100.00 per investor and less any distributions paid by the Partnership after December 12, 2005.

Neither the Partnership nor Grace Property Management, Inc., its general partner, in any way recommends or endorses Peachtree's offer. Mr. Ira Gaines, a principal of Peachtree, is the registered holder of partnership units. In no other manner is Peachtree associated with either the Partnership or its general partner, and neither the Partnership nor its general partner is associated with the tender offer or the offer documentation.

The Partnership takes no position with respect to the tender offer.

The Partnership urges that each partner, regardless of the size of his or her holding, contemplating tendering his or her partnership units to Peachtree consider the following:



 -- There is not an active market for the partnership units. The units
    are not listed on any national securities exchange or quoted
    on the Nasdaq(tm) computerized over-the-counter quotation system.
    Transactions involving partnership units have occurred, albeit
    sporadically, in the over-the-counter market, though as a rule
    the Partnership has no specific knowledge of either the prices
    at which the partnership units have traded or the dates on which
    such transactions have occurred. From information furnished by
    parties involved, the only transactions in the over-the-counter
    market between third parties involving partnership units during
    the last five years with respect to which the Partnership is aware
    of the price per unit and the approximate transaction date are as
    follows:

    Approx. Transaction Date               Price per Unit

        November 2005                          $10.00
        May 2003                                 0.50
        May 2002                                 0.50
        February 2001                            0.50

 -- The one-time administrative fee of $100.00 that Peachtree will
    assess each investor who tenders partnership units under its offer
    means, effectively, that a holder of 1,000 or fewer partnership
    units will receive nothing for his or her holding, and that
    a holder of 2,000 partnership units will receive net consideration
    of $0.05 per unit.

 -- Firms that have an interest in acting as a broker or dealer
    in transactions involving limited partnership units in general may
    be found on the Internet. The Partnership does not endorse
    or recommend any such firm, nor is the Partnership aware of any
    interest of any such firm (other than Peachtree) in a transaction
    involving the Partnership's units. The Partnership strongly
    encourages each partner to do his or her own investigation
    of a potential broker or dealer, and to be aware that because the
    market for limited partnership units in general is inefficient,
    the price offered by a broker or dealer may bear little relation
    to, and may be substantially lower or higher than, the actual
    economic value of the partnership units or the net price per unit
    offered by Peachtree under its mini-tender offer.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has cautioned investors about offers of this nature. Mini-tender offers, which are offers to buy less than 5 percent of a company's stock or of a limited partnership's partnership units, "have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard," according to an investor alert posted on the SEC's website. Partners should be aware that many of the SEC's tender offer rules do not apply to mini-tender offers. Among other things, the SEC recommends that before accepting a mini-tender offer, each investor should consult with his or her broker or financial advisor and determine where to get the best price if he or she wants to sell. The SEC warns investors not to assume that a premium over the market is being offered for their units.

Partners who have tendered their partnership units to Peachtree under the offer are advised that, according to Peachtree's offering documents, they may withdraw their partnership units by providing written notice to Peachtree for a period of 15 days from the postmark of their acceptance of Peachtree's offer.
