Subject: HSR Query

Mike, here isanother HSR query for you:

A is buying allof the shares of B for $54.5 million. The shares of B are not publicly listed.B has debt to a bank in the amount of $23.1 million. Simultaneously with theclosing, the seller will use $23.1 million of the purchase price and pay offB's debt to the bank. It is my understanding that the transaction price is$31.4 million. Is that correct?
