============= Page 1 of 1 ============= Ahrens, Brad From: Ray, Glenn Sent: Friday, September 07, 20012:20 PM To: Lind, Michael Subject: Skilling 1.) Relationship -Jeff stated that he preferred calling his Pinnacle team over dealing with the branch or Private Client. Part of the reason for this was, in my opinion, that he is a trader at heart and we can speak knowledgeably with him about that subject. -He has been very complimentary on how we have handled his large orders: both in getting the deals done and our speed/efficiency. Example: getting the short interest rebate on both shares held at Schwab and those borrowed outside the firm. 2.) Partnership -Branches/SPC were instrumental in getting this last TOA: -$25 million. -PAR/Treasury: accomplished short interest rebate issues. -Institutional: Jeff was very pleased with his recent fills on AES. -Structured Products: have begun working with him on hedging his positions. 3.) Current -he had a large ENE position and added to it significantly. Total now: 936,576. -he acquired a large short position in AES: 800,000. -he stated a desire to sell 200,000 ENE; got the process started for have the company send us a letter regarding his current affiliation status. -1 suggested he consider using Structured Products to hedge his ENE posn or use forwards for tax advantages. With acquiring the AES posn and recognizing that it does not pay a dividend, I suggested he use Structured Products to develop an exit strategy/hedge for his ort position also.
