Risen isn’t running the NYT story until Monday or Tuesday but wants to
“finish reporting” tomorrow.  It is possible he’s just been asked to add a
few paragraphs to a larger story about the VP’s trip.   Regardless, we have
time to answer the questions and get back to him tomorrow.

FYI, FTI, Blue Star and I just did a call on this.

1) We need to see if Risen/NYT will give us some time to draft answers and
get them approved.  Risen says his deadline in “COB today”.  But Ryan is
drafting something now and will send around.  We will keep you posted on
what Risen says on timing.

2) None of us on the phone were able to directly comment on the
Nikolai/Igor ownership question.  Ryan will draft something on that but
will of course need you to weigh in if he’s inaccurate.

3) For question #7 re: Hunter still being on the Board we are going to say,
“yes and he continues to focus on transparency, corporate governance, etc.”
 Nothing to gain from talking about the transition off of Burisma Holdings
because that will give the story more oxygen and since Hunter is still “on
the board” it is accurate.

See below questions from NYT.

1.       Where do things stand with the owner? Is NZ still the owner?
2.       What is the status of the “money-laundering and bribery” case in
the UK? NZ’s assets in UK were once frozen but now unfrozen. Does the
company have a comment on the issue?
3.       He said there seems to be conflicting info about ownership of the
company between Igor and Nicholai. Who is the actual owner and what is
Igor’s involvement?
4.       The US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt gave a speech in
September in Odessa criticizing government officials for obstructing
efforts to combat corruption and graft and specifically called out NZ and
millions of dollars in illicit assets that he had in the UK. How does the
company respond to this speech and calls for investigations into officials
who the ambassador says are obstructing reform?
5.       He noted that Burisma is looking at expanding into Kazakhstan. Is
this true?
6.       What lobbying activities is the company engaged in the US. Is
David Leiter still retained as the company’s lobbyist in DC?
7.       Is Hunter Biden still a member of the board? What is his current
activities with the company?
