A URL to listen to the purloined voice mail is in the following transcript: SEARCHING FOR VOTES Below is a transcript of a voice mail message from Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard's chairman and chief executive officer, to Bob Wayman, the company's chief financial officer. The message was left on Sunday, March 17, two days before HP shareholders met in Cupertino to vote on HP's hotly contested proposal to buy Compaq Computer. The Mercury News received an anonymous audio copy of the message earlier this week. To hear the message, visit multimedia.realcities.com:8080/ramgen/bayarea/news/carlyshort.rm Hey, Bob, it's Carly. It's Sunday night. Talking to Alan Miller again today. He remains very nervous about Deutsche Bank and Northern Trust, given what he's hearing and what he's seeing. And so the suggestion is that you call the guy at Deutsche Bank again first thing Monday morning. And if you don't get the right answer from him, then you and I need to demand a conference call, an audience, etc., to make sure that we get them in the right place. So, Alan is feeling like you need a definite answer from the vice chairman, and if it's the wrong one, we have to swing into action. On Northern Trust, we've seen a piece of their votes move against us, and we're nervous. We're getting information from some of our arbs -- you may remember the guys at Citadel who have been very helpful -- they think they're having a meeting on Monday potentially to change their vote. So, again, we'll probably have to get on the phone first thing Monday morning. So, if you would take Deutsche Bank, I'll take Northern Trust, get on the phone and see what we can get, but we may have to do something extraordinary for those two to bring 'em over the line here. OK? Thanks! Hope you had a great weekend and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye. bayarea.com
