Scott confirms (in writing) - no secondary is planned ... Subj: Re: Looking for confirmation ... Date: 98-04-03 14:19:07 EST From: Liolios@PacificGP.com (Scott Liolios) Reply-to: Liolios@PacificGP.com To: Biffpincus@aol.com (Biffpincus) Hello David, It is anything but quiet around here. I have gotten several questions regarding this post of 500 new hires. To this point, the information is just not accurate. Yes, TAVA is aggressively hiring. But there is no way I can confirm the 500 number. I also think it is a stretch to use the extrapolation used in the post regarding billing. Rates are negotiated, the post assumes a perfectly efficient work week. The post is just not true. There is also no truth to a secondary. The company is not in any discussions ... Thanks for your support and I hope this clears it up. Scott Liolios XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Biffpincus wrote: Scott, ...

Can you confirm these numbers? I'm hoping that the poster got it right, but it seems too good to be true ... Thanks for your help on this one. ... Could you also please confirm Jan McCabe's post on SI that TAVA is NOT planning a secondary. She said she talked with you on the phone about it ... Is there anything substantive you can add to the discussion or perhaps you could just confirm (for due diligence's sake) what you said to Jan. Hope all is well with you and yours. David
