At a meeting here at MG today, the consensus/preference was not to use a UK company as we have no full ISD (chapter 10) firm nor the wish to change MG's status. Per the advice from S&C, we like the idea of using a US corporation with a UK "arranger" to cover any UK regulatory issues that arise. Dependent on where the business will end up (I understand to be discussed by Gary Hickerson/Mike Hutchinson 18th August), the following appears to be the among the logical solutions: 1. Contractual entity - either Enron North America, MG London Inc or Newco Inc. 2. Arranger - either EEFT Ltd, Metallgesellschaft Ltd or MG Brokers Ltd (depending on the effect on their chapter 3 status for the last two). The current customer base consists of entities in the US, Canada, France, UK and Switzerland. Please advise on any group/tax issues that can affect the final decision. If you need any further information, please let me know. Many thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Jon Barrett/MGLTD_London/MGLTD on 07/08/2000 15:59 --------------------------- GILBERGD@sullcrom.com on 06/08/2000 15:45:55 To: jbarrett cc: RAISLERK@sullcrom.com Subject: FX Transactions eSafe Protect Gateway (tm) has scanned this mail for viruses, vandals and suspicious attachments and has found it to be CLEAN.
