The balance sheets are crucially import=nt, as much of the reorganisation hinges on the share capital and distribu=able reserves positions of Topco and Midco. We spoke to Peter Goodwin about this back in June, but accounts / balance =heets were not available at that time. Timing for the re-org will therefore de=end on when we receive the above. We have drafted an umbrella agreement (c=py attached) and initial documents list, as well as the steps paper which you have seen, and should be able to produce and =inalise the required ancillary documentation quickly once everything is in=place.

Thanks, Eileen From: Salmon, Hannah (HKAS) [mailto Sent: Friday, April 25, 2014 8:48 AM 3 EFTA_R1_02150419 EFTA02715983 To: Eileen Alexanderson; <mailto <mailto > ; <mailto Cc: Powell, Luke (LXP); Greenbank, Ashley (DAG); McCabe, Claire (CZM= Subject: Phadion re-organisation [MACS-LIVE_LIB.FID25593441 All I attach a documents list for the Phaidon re-organisa=ion. The steps can be summarised as follows: 3. JMWT Topco Limited ("Topco") will complete a capital=reduction to create sufficient distributable reserves to enable the shares=of JMWT Midco Limited ("Midco") to be transferred to the shareholders as a lawful dividend in specie. £1 of share capit=l will remain. An application to strike off Topco will then be made. Compa=ies House will review the application and place a notice in the Gazette. 1= no objection is filed, approximately 3 months after the date of publication of the notice Topco will be dissolv=d. S. Phaidon Global LLC will transfer its shares of JMWT to JMWT Manager L=C. There will be no liquidator appointed and it is there=ore essential that the directors/LLP members are able to identify all the =ssets and liabilities of the LLP, Topco and Midco. There will be no need to wait for an entity to be dis=olved before the next step can be taken. It should therefore be possible t= complete the steps fairly quickly. We hold the register of members for the LLP and this =as not been updated to reflect Phaidon Global LLC and JMWT Manager LLC bec=ming members of the LLP and PLB LLC and JMWT LLC ceasing to be members, as we were not aware of the transfer of partner=hip interests. We have also checked the public registers and note that the=public registers do not reflect the change in the membership of the LIP. A= an initial step, it will therefore be necessary to pass ratification resolutions of the LLP members to confir= the membership of the LLP and update the registers accordingly. If Phaido= Global LLC and JMWT Manager LLC can be included as members from now (rath=r than ratifying historic membership), this will be a much easier (and preferable) process. Have Phaidon Global L=C and JMWT Manager LLC taken any action as members of the LLP to date? 4 EFTA_R1_02150420 EFTA02715984 We have based the steps on the following assumptions:=/span> •Q=A0 the LLP, Topco and Midco have no liabilities (they have given no guar=ntees, entered into no contracts, there are no loan arrangements in place =intra-group or otherwise) and they have no creditors); *4>=A0 the share capital of Topco exceeds the value of the Midco shares by a= least £1 (this will enable us to reduce the capital of Topco, leavin= £1 of capital to create sufficient distributable profits to enable the shares of Midco to be transferred to the LLCs as a d=vidend in specie); *4>=A0 the share capital of Midco exceeds the value of the JMWT shares by at=least £1; *4>=A0 the LLP, Topco and Midco have no assets other than the shares of Topc=, Midco and JMWT (respectively); *4>=A0 accounts/balance sheets of Topco and Midco will be provided to show t=e assets and liabilities of Topco and Midco before each company reduces it= share capital, and also an updated balance sheet will be provided following completion of the capital reduction. It i= possible to just have accounts/balance sheets for the position following =he capital reduction, but as the directors will have personal liability fo= the solvency statements they make in connection with the capital reduction, it is preferable for them to hav= accounts/balance sheets to refer to at the time the solvency statements a=e made; *4>=A0 accounts/a balance sheet will be provided for the LLP to show the ass=ts and liabilities of the LLP at the time of the distribution of assets to=the members; *4>=A0 the LLP Agreement dated 3 October 2012 was signed;</=> *4>=A0 JMWT Manager LLC entered into a deed of adherence to the LLP Agreemen= (we have seen the deed of adherence signed by Phaidon Global LLC); and *4>=A0 the members confirmed the termination of membership of PLB, LLC and J=WT LLC as members of the LLP (in addition to transferring interests in the=partnership to the incoming members which is included in the "reorganization agreement"). If any of the above assumptions is incorrect, please =et us know as this will impact on the steps and the documents needed. Eileen, please confirm if you are happy for us to com=ence drafting the documents; if you would like to have a call with us (and=Sonia and Gregor) to discuss any of the above points before we begin drafting, please let us know your availability.
