| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - I would have preferred our previous negotiations to have reached a successful conclusion; however, given our prior experience, I did not see an option other than to present this combination directly to your shareholders.It is my hope that you will examine our offer with the same logic and openness that prevailed in the meetings that took place last fall with you, Yves Fortier, Frank Thomas and me.
