They are referencing the program that you accelerate vest at age 55. I don't have the written version of that. They have to file I thought. Maybe there is a loophole where they don't have to file the whole thing and this suffices. I would be precluded from filing the whole thing by signing. But I could release the working drafts because there was no nda. ---- Reply message From: "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]> To: "Steven Sinofsky" c Subject: Form 8-K Date: Fri, Jun 14, 2013 3:03 PM they will only file the 8k after you sign. first what were the temrs of the "qulaified retirement,"that they reference, and didn;t it have an acceleration provision? 2. im trying to decide whether after they file, whether you could file the entire agreement under a required provision, anyway , nothhing to do today, On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at 8:54 PM, Steven Sinofsky < wrote: I was a 144 officer. All the stock stuff was filed by ms on my behalf. This just seems like a way to make the agreement look good for them or at least different than the one I signed. I don't see the need for two steps. Once I sign they can file an 8k with the actual contract. Since I haven't signed or seen a final there is no 8k. ---- Reply message --- From: "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]> To: "Steven Sinofsky" • Cc: "Jay Lefkowitz" Subject: Form 8-K Date: Fri, Jun 14, 2013 2:52 PM nothing to agree to or not agree, is there a final draft of the agreement? ?

Subject: Form 8-K Hi Jay, I've attached the current draft of the Form 8-K that Microsoft will need to file after execution of the agreement with Steven. We'll take a final look at this before locking all of the words, but I don't expect it to change in any significant way. The full agreement will be filed later with the company's 10-K, but it will not be filed as an attachment to the 8-K. I'll give you a call on Monday when I'm back in the office, so we can talk about timing of this. I think it will make sense to have the parties both sign the agreement next week, but it would be good to compare notes on the specifics.
