Hunter/Devon/David-

Sending simultaneously to all for comments.  Just wanted to do some if asked talking points that I would provide on background to the WSJ.

David, Hunter’s preference on the Ambassador question is Option 4 - “Hunter has no comment.”
Also, Hunter, Devon felt internally it would be best to say that you are “transitioning off of the Burisma Holdings board."

Thoughts on the below and anything I missed?

If asked for Hunter’s response to the Ambassador’s comments about Nikolai:

Option one:  “Hunter respectfully disagrees with the Ambassador’s comments and is confident that the decisions of the Ukrainian Prosecutor will ultimately be the same as the British courts.” 

Option two:  “Hunter believes that the Ambassador is mistaken in his comments and has been given bad information and is confident that the decisions of the Ukrainian Prosecutor will ultimately be the same as the British courts.”

Option three: “Hunter has no comment on the Ambassador’s comment but is confident that the decisions of the Ukrainian Prosecutor will ultimately be the same as the British courts.”

Option four: “Hunter has no comment on the Ambassador’s remarks.”

If asked on what RHB's role is:

"Hunter is currently focused on Burisma Geothermal having joined its Board in the late summer and he is transitioning off of the Burisma Holdings Board."

If asked what Hunter is doing for Burisma Geothermal:

"As a Board member, Hunter is focused on corporate governance, legal and business development issues."

If asked why Hunter made the change to focus on Geothermal now:

"This was a long term plan as Burisma Geothermal has become a greater focus for Burisma."
