Enron Mail |
I am having trouble getting this to you. So I am trying again. Also do you have any inventory that could be sold that is not encumbered already. Trying to think about what could be done to improve your cash in the short term. -----Original Message----- From: Hayslett, Rod Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 10:55 AM To: Piro, Jim Subject: FW: Returned mail: see transcript for details Can you help us out here from what you know? I do not believe you can loan money to Enron. Have you filed to be able to make the special dividend? -----Original Message----- From: Goodrow, Alicia=20 Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 2:27 PM To: Adams, Gregory Cc: Hayslett, Rod; Ginty, James; Maxey, Dave Subject: RE: PGE Dividend Greg: I do not have any access to information regarding PGE retained earnings. As we discussed this morning, distributions of cash in the form of dividends will be subject to a tax of approximately 7%. This tax can be avoided completely if the distributions of cash take the form of intercompany loans which are settled at the close of the sale of PGE. Significant tax research and intercompany briefings took place on this very topic in July and August of this year. The procedures for settlement of the loans are already baked into the PGE purchase and sale agreement. It is my understanding that some loans of cash have already been made under this procedure, but I am the wrong person to talk to about PGE issues or that sort. Rod Hayslett would have more information.=20 =20 Jim Ginty is the appropriate tax department contact for PGE Purchase and Sale Agreement issues.=20 Regards,=20 Alicia Goodrow -----Original Message----- From: Adams, Gregory=20 Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 10:36 AM To: Goodrow, Alicia Subject: FW: PGE Dividend Alicia, Do we know / can we quantify the amount of undistributed/retained earnings as of Sepetmber 30th, and what the tax impact would be of distributing that amount. Thanks again.

We should probably get alicia to quantify exactly how much the leakage would be {in dollars} and how the mechanics would work. Please tell alicia that we understand that this would be a whalley, mcmahon, causey decision. We are only trying to identify options and quantify breakage and leakage. Thanks very much for the update keep me posted. William W.
