Highland Capital Partners' Wyc Grousbeck to Take Leave of 
Absence

LEXINGTON, MA, September 27, 2002 - Highland Capital 
Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm, today 
announced that Wyc Grousbeck is taking an immediate leave 
of absence to pursue ownership of the Boston Celtics. The 
transaction involving the Celtics is a personal 
undertaking of Mr. Grousbeck and does not involve

partner over the last seven years, Wyc has played an 
important role in a number of successful Highland-backed 
companies."

"My seven years at Highland have been a truly great 
experience as I've had the opportunity to work with a 
terrific group of people, while contributing to building 
several outstanding companies," added Grousbeck. "I've 
been presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity that 
is too compelling to pass up."
