<div>In my opinion, as soon as we open this up to others it will become too large to be effective in what I believe will need to be an interactive process with the legal team selected. I personally favor keeping it as is and require transparency and regular

<div class="gmail_quote"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">We had initially identified a total of eight firms. Each firm has appropriate expertise in corporate governance, non-profit matters, trusts, etc. Each firm also has a strong California presence, as well as other offices in the US and
other countries. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">One firm has withdrawn due to workload issues. Four firms have withdrawn due to client conflicts</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">We are left with a short list of three firms. Each of these firms has now sent us a document discussing their relevant capabilities. At least one member of the client committee has had a preliminary discussion with each firm. We
are now in the process of setting up a series of follow-up calls for this week between the Client Committee and each firm.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">While we would like to reveal the names of the firms remaining on the short list, at this point, it is premature to do so. We will need to ask each firm permission to identify it to this group. We will discuss this with them during
our calls this week.</div>
