6. I do not agree with Ms. Wood’s testimony regarding this matter. When
she and I spoke about the transaction, she told me that she had made a mistake in calculating the
price she quoted to UPS. She said that she was not familiar with this particular market, or with
basis trading.
_ 7. I have also read her deposition testimony where she states she was aware
ofthe pricing discrepancy before the deal closed aud actually sought approval to proceed
knowing that UPS was about to uvetpay. This testimony surprised me because when I contacted
her weeks after the deal closed, she sounded as if she knew nothing about it and said she would
try to help undo the deal or otherwise correct the situation.
8. I am prepared to testify via videoconference on Tuesday, August 30, 2005,
to the above facts.
, I declare under peralty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best
of my knowledge.
