<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px"><div>Holly and Rosemary,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many months ago I was part of the small Legal Sub-team that chose to retain both your firms to advise us here on the CCWG. As I've been reading the documents you've just sent us contrasting the Board and CCWG 2nd draft proposals my initial reaction has been "damn, we made the right decision".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks you for your extraordinary, detailed, comprehensive and valuable work. It's of great help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ed Morris</div>
