Dear all,

Following our communications, there are few concrete PR issues I would like
to discuss with you:

1) Changing the structure/content of the earlier press releases into the
corporate messages as prepared by the FTI team.

 Basically, our position is that we could go ahead with the suggested
changes, though I do believe it could be done far better once we launch a
new website within an upcoming month, since if we proceed with this now, we
could face some side-effects such as negative media attention (when they
claim that we are trying to conceal something as the majority of
journalists have already made print-screens of our website pages, etc.)

Also, in the press release it was mentioned that Hunter Biden as Company's
Boardof Director member  is going to supervise its legal block, and
following your advice we agreed to position him so.

Say, if we remove this reference and stick with the new one suggested by
you in general terms, we may end up having enhanced speculations that he,
in fact, is running the company.

2) Posting Board Information on the website . In one of your recent
recommendations you urged us not to go for this option and justified your
point by saying that Vice President was visiting the Ukraine then. Now,
however, I would like to get back to you on this issue, since I am afraid
we might find ourselves in a undesirable position that would look like as
if we are hiding something). Based on my previous communications with
Hunter, I had a feeling that in principal he had no objections to that.
Correct me if I am wrong.

3) PR in Ukraine/Nikolay's interview . Going back to our previous
discussions I would like to convey to you one more time, so that we are on
the same page, the following: As I've already said, the media here on the
ground is eager to receive at least some answers from Nikolay himself and
we believe that taking into account the fact that he used to be a prominent
states-person/public figure here in Ukraine (as Hunter correctly pointed
out) and now he is an efficient businessman, we cannot keep him from giving
an interview or commenting on the situation in general. In this regard, I
would like to assure you once again that his comments regarding the Board
members will be fully in line with your recommendations (Q&A, Key messages).

4) Website. As promised earlier, today/tomorrow I will send you a draft
structure/design of our corporate website for your remarks.

Best,

Vadi
