`Re: AlphaTec
`
`All good points.
`
`Still, prepare the analysis of Alpha. I want to destabilize them completely. Make the model such
`that there is nothing left of the base costs once we are done. It's just a product line .... plus, we
`need engineers!

`
`Let's hold for a bit. He hasn't formally accepted yet per Pete who is on phone with him. Need to
`learn some more first ...
`
`My guess is Jim likely doesn't know yet if Pat hasn't accepted. Hell, he's taking his role. He
`probably doesn't know. Maybe that is a play to f*** it up on that side. Put a call in to Jim letting
`him know he's out. Give them something to work through as well although could accelerate our
`need to do something if they force Pat to move more quickly.

`Guys, I am going to get board approval to send in a letter to AlphaTec tonight-I'll call Jim. I also

`dealing with that. Sean-when I land we will review the model.
