In fact, EGM recognized $120 million in mark to market earnings from an offtake agreement that was inextricably linked to the sale. The recognition of these earnings would not have been possible without the sale. My confidence in your integrity compells me to alert you of my concern with your statements from the eSpeak session. I urge you to investigate the transaction further. After you have done so, I believe you will agree with me that your statements appear misleading to anyone with a better understanding of the deal. Regards, Brian Terp
