Press release AK - FTI version CLEAN COPY.docx, Press release AK - FTI version REDLINE.docx
Vadim et al: 

We appreciated the opportunity to speak with you all today.  Thank you for taking the time. 

Bearing in mind your note below, we went through this announcement , turning it into a more conventional press release but maintaining almost all of the initial substance.  Redlined and clean versions are attached here.  As you will see, we made some small language changes but nothing that impacts the broader message.  These changes were intended to mirror earlier releases on the website and also to bring this more into alignment with industry standards and best practices. As mentioned on our conference call earlier, we should aim to communicate in a more standardized way moving forward and the changes reflect that approach. 

If your sense is that these changes require the approval of Mr. Kwasniewski and would significantly slow down the posting of the announcement, there is nothing in the current version that is wrong or particularly problematic. In that case, please let us know and we will just correct a few very minor things. 

Many thanks and we are looking forward to collaborating moving forward — 

Best regards, 

Ryan

Understood, thank you. We’ll try not to be too picky in light of that constraint.

Dear Heather,

Please find attached the press release the spoke about.

 As you could see from the content, it’s not a press release in strict terms. It’s a kind of a  message of the Company.

Also, please mind an important point.

That text was carefully edited by Mr. President.

 In case you or your colleagues wish to advise us to change it, I will have to agree that with

 Mr. Kwasniewski, even if it’s one word, and that might not happen earlier then Monday- Tuesday next week.

 

Looking forward for your feedback.

Best,Vadym

Vadim - One point we discussed early on but I'm not sure we entirely resolved, was when to post the press release re: Aleksander.  Here is what you should do: please send the draft press release as soon as possible to this list, so that FTI can review it and sign off or edit it, and send it back. Then, you should post it to the website as soon as possible, as the first thing under "Top Stories" on the home page of the website and under "Latest News" tab if you wish.

Everyone - As just agreed, to the extent you get any inquiries from media or otherwise have PR related questions, please do not comment/respond immediately.  Rather, please circulate the inquiry/question to this group email list so that FTI can advise as quickly as possible as to their advice on whether to respond and, if so, what should be said and by whom.  (Note that Ryan and Brian at FTI, with whom you just spoke, are part of the group email address you'll see in the "cc" line here, for FTI consulting.)

In addition, FTI will be producing simple, short, high level suggested talking points in the next 24 hours, which Vadim can get to Aleksander in the event that Aleksander gets approached in person by a reporter and feels he cannot delay responding.
