EMAIL DETAILS

Vadym-

To follow up on our call earlier this week, Hunter and I spoke to Sally Painter yesterday.

First, Hunter talked to Sally about the agreement and the desire on your part to evaluate success after two months and not feel locked in to the year long contract if things weren’t going well. Sally understood and said that that wasn’t a problem. So, you should feel free to go ahead and execute the agreement as it is written and process the first invoice.

Second, Sally said she has already had a few meetings on Burisma’s behalf and had some feedback she wanted to give to us offline. She felt she had some intelligence on why the Ambassador made his comments. Hunter and I are going to sit down with her on Monday and find out more.

Third, we discussed the potential trip to Kiev in December. One alternative suggestion that Sally made was for Blue Star to go alone and do some high level government meetings in Kiev as the first step. She thought that there were points she could make one-on-one with the Prime Minister, Finance Minister, etc. without others in the meeting. She also thought that she could get some further intelligence from those meetings that we might not get with a larger delegation. She thought the delegation would be a good idea but might be better after these initial meetings. When we talk to Sally on Monday we’ll get a timeline and plan from her on what she was thinking regarding the Kiev trip(s) and then we can all discuss it more next week. I know Devon will be seeing her next week as well.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best,

Eric
