We are delighted to hear that you are finally accepting our long standing offer to come into our sale process as a bidder, along with the others, who are already very engaged in diligence. Our courier receipt indicates that a confidentiality agreement was delivered to your offices within hours of your request to Goldman Sachs to enter into our auction as a bidder. Please sign the confidentiality agreement promptly so that you may gain access to the vast diligence materials. We look forward to assisting you with these materials so that you can catch up with others who are far along in the process.
As we have stated previously, we are committed to enhancing value for all WCI shareholders. While it is helpful to know that you support a delay in the annual meeting, the Board will determine the timing of the meeting based on its assessment of the best way to maximize shareholder value given our sale process.
