Subject: (redacted) -- 4(c)Question

DearMike,

Following up on ourconversation of yesterday, I'd just like to confirm the documents that shouldbe filed as 4(c) in (redacted) acquisition of shares of (redacted).

As discussed, (redacted)Europe is a member of the (redacted)enterprise today. In particular, (redacted) is a member of (redacted). (redacted),along with (redacted) and (redacted), plan to restructure, consolidating tocreate (redacted) Inc. (redacted) (redacted), and (redacted) will make an HSRfiling with respect to the consolidation. (redacted) will not be an acquiringor an acquired person with respect to the consolidation.

At the time of the restructuring, (redacted)plans to convert its stake in (redacted) to shares in (redacted) Inc. (aninitial 8.4% of outstanding (redacted) Inc. voting shares, which will bereduced over time). (redacted) will make an HSR filing on this proposedacquisition of shares in (redacted).

I understand the documents thatshould be provided as 4(c) in (redacted) HSR filing are only those documentsthat relate to the transaction about which (redacted) is filing (i.e., theacquisition of (redacted) Inc. shares), and not those documents that relate tothe restructuring with respect to which a separate filing will be made by (redacted),(redacted), and (redacted).

At yourconvenience, could you please confirm my understanding?
